Mr. Kemal KIRIKKANAT created a new business plan and contacted the Invest Hong Kong agency, learned the requirements, determined his points of contact, and began making preparations for the following years. The first Limited Company “INO Ulus. Nak. Org. Ltd. Sti.” was established in Türkiye to reach the corporate body and highest level of quality. The 1st network and the other networks were placed under Limited Company, and today is globally known as INO Networks Group. The business plan was accepted by the Invest Hong Kong agency, and Mr. KIRIKKANAT was invited to Hong Kong to make an investment. This became a new milestone for him. He and his wife migrated to Hong Kong with one-way air tickets. They completed all the requirements and set up their second limited company there. They lived in Hong Kong for years, managing all operations from there for three and a half years. They employed between four and eight employees periodically.
The internships Mr. Kemal KIRIKKANAT (Founder and Chairman of INO Networks Group) made during the 3rd and 4th years of university enlightened his path. A newly university-graduated young man understood the importance of good communication and strong connections in business life. He started to build his career, educated and developed himself with countless courses such as foreign trade specialist, web designer, web programmer, logistics management, and freight forwarding while working in a worldwide known freight forwarding company.
Mr. Kemal KIRIKKANAT who was in his early twenties experienced the cooperation level between freight forwarders, and their relationship with the parties such as exporters, importers, shipping lines, airways, and truckers. He noticed that the business flow between parties is not satisfactory, and freight forwarders are one of the most hardworking and damaged parties during all these periods. Things were getting serious and official. The business plan started to be run! Mr. Kemal KIRIKKANAT launched his first agent network called “Freight Forwarders Family Worldwide Agents Network”, designed the website, and coded the infrastructure. He did marketing, sales, and operation on his own.
