Helping Great Companies Grow

Opportunity

India’s logistics industry is growing at 12-15% CAGR, and is expected to grow to $160 billion per year (long haul $110 billion) by 2023


Recent heavy investment in Indian road infrastructure has made road transport an efficient and reliable option compared to other transportation modes


Indian logistics market is heavily fragmented


75% is still controlled by small fleet owners owning five or fewer trucks


Excellent opportunity to consolidate the market and seize significant market share


Intermediaries make the business less lucrative for small fleet owners and creates a deficiency of trust, providing more opportunity for established logistics businesses


None of the large operators have over 2% market share – massive opportunity for consolidation

Investment in freight trucking
startups is on the rise
