The following year Kanika co-founded Fem Peers, which is a classic example of sharing economy model, providing necessary health services to women.

For instance, as part of Google Women web project, she worked with women entrepreneurs to design the online digital strategy for their business such as BrandKraft Asia Business. She developed its content creation and distribution strategies along with its co-founder Ms Sylvia Reddy.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Malaysia (CILTM) had its beginnings in 1965 with the formation of Malaysia Section. This was to fulfil the need for the qualified locals in the field of logistics and transport after independence and the increasing demand in the transport industries. In October 1990, the Malaysia Section was upgraded to that of a National Council. Today, the situation in the logistics and transport industry even more dynamic and the demand for trained logistics and transport managers and operators is greater than ever.
CILTM is part of CILT network worldwide linked to CILT International which based in the United Kingdom. Internationally, the institute has about 33,000 members with about half the number residing outside the UK, mostly in the Commonwealth countries. Malaysia has about 2,000 members of all grades. Membership of the CILT not only offers today’s transportants a breadth and depth of training through its excellent examination system, it also offers the opportunity to exchange valuable ideas and experiences with other logistics and transport professionals. The Institute also constantly strives to keep up with the ever changing development in the Industry.
