At the event, Locus Founder and CEO, Nishith Rastogi gave a [thought-provoking talk](https://locus.sh/blogs/locus-ceo-talks-last-mile-potential-as-revenue-driver/) on how this change represented an unprecedented growth opportunity. He shared his insights on how companies could convert the last mile from a cost center to a revenue generator. Nishith also discussed Locus’ collaboration with Unilever, a leading multinational Consumer Packaged Goods company worth €50 billion, to increase product deliveries to retailers and distributors. ***Check out Nishith’s thoughts on the potential of the last mile to evolve from a cost center to a revenue driver in this [LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/locus-sh_fueling-growth-make-last-mile-your-differentiator-ugcPost-6940988349985746944-KUov/?utm_source=linkedin_share&utm_medium=member_desktop_web) .**For the complete set of insights, check out [our blog](https://locus.sh/blogs/category/featured/) .* Last year’s symposium also saw us showcasing our [Dispatch Management Platform](https://locus.sh/dispatch-management-software/) , a unified, end-to-end platform for last-mile excellence.
