Our Mission
Our Founders – Nathan & Ajay
Nathan hails from a business family based in Mumbai, India. He has a Bachelor of Information Systems from Oklahoma City University.
He spent his early adult years roughing it out while he learned the ropes about living on his own in the US. He did odd jobs to sustain himself. Whether it was delivering pizzas, doing an IT job, running a restaurant, dabbling in the real estate business and running a training institute, Nathan has done it all.
It was Nathan’s dream and desire to start his own business someday. His dream resonated with his best friend Ajay. The two of them got together and First Freight Carriers, LLC was born. The company was registered on 20th May 2008.
In the early years Nathan multi-tasked and managed the company with Ajay’s support while also doing a job for a living. Nathan credits Ajay for his dynamism and their amazing synergy was a great asset for the growth of the company. Unfortunately, Ajay passed away in August 2012 leaving Nathan to fulfil their dream on his own.
Even though FFC began as a bootstrapped start-up it soon saw organic growth as the number of clients increased mainly through references from happy clients. It is a matter of pride for Nathan that over the last 14 years, FFC has grown considerably without having to carry out marketing activities to attract new clients.
Nathan travelled across the US just to learn the ropes of the freight and logistics business in order to understand how he could provide his clients seamless logistics service. He credits his learning and experience from the restaurant industry for teaching him to make ‘customer service’ his top-most priority. His stint as a redeveloper in the real estate industry taught him to give top priority to the customer unique requirements and then provide the best solution to meet their needs.
Nathan is a family man, a supportive husband and a father to two active and adventurous kids. He has various hobbies and interests which include music, poetry and sports.
