History
Veloo gained valuable experience in project management and corporate leadership while working with IJM Plantations Berhad in Malaysia and Indonesia, which laid the groundwork for Vismarin.
In 2009, Veloo established Vismarin to apply his expertise and make a significant impact in the agricultural and processing sector. Focusing on the palm oil industry, Vismarin quickly gained recognition for its innovative approaches and strong commitment to environmental stewardship.
Under Veloo's leadership, Vismarin undertook several high-profile projects in Indonesia. These projects were distinguished by their use of state-of-the-art technology and sustainable practices.
Over the years, Vismarin has completed significant projects totaling about USD 185 million.
