We're excited to announce that Capt. Alok RC Sharma has joined Fuelsure as a Strategic Advisor.

Alok brings over 25 years of experience spanning maritime operations, energy trading, financial services, and technology. A qualified Master Mariner turned commercial leader, he has held senior roles at some of the world's largest trading and technology companies, including Inatech (formerly part of Glencore) and most recently at 129Knots, a fintech initiative for commodities. 

His career sits at the exact intersection of shipping, commodities, capital and digital transformation, making him a natural fit for what Fuelsure is building.

The timing matters. The bunkering industry is under a level of scrutiny and pressure it hasn't seen in years. Geopolitical shifts, supply volatility, and tightening regulations are forcing buyers to rethink how they procure marine fuel. Moving beyond price alone to focus on reliability, transparency, and risk management. 

The companies that adapt fastest will have a structural advantage. Fuelsure was built for exactly this moment. Quick deployment, AI driven and self-servicing – it acts as an assurance layer rather than “another tool”.

Alok's global network across ship owners, traders, and suppliers, combined with his deep expertise in energy procurement, risk management, decarbonisation and capital markets will help Fuelsure sharpen its go-to-market strategy and deepen its footprint across the industry.

"The marine fuel market is at an inflection point. Buyers are dealing with levels of uncertainty that traditional procurement approaches simply weren't designed for. What Fuelsure is building addresses a real and urgent gap and I'm looking forward to helping them drive change. Bringing people together is key for any change to happen. Fuelsure hopes to bring about collaborative change rather than isolated agenda driven initiatives"
— Capt. Alok RC Sharma, Strategic Advisor, Fuelsure

"Having Alok in our corner is a real signal of where Fuelsure is headed. He's been at the shaping market strategy of energy trading, maritime technology and decarbonisation for decades. Alok understands the market, he knows the players, and he sees the same opportunity we do. We're glad to have him with us."
