One name that is closely associated with India’s logistics sector is Sahil Barua. He is a co-founder and the CEO of Delhivery, one of the biggest logistics and supply chain firms in India. In 2011, he founded Delhivery with the goal of revolutionising the Indian logistics sector. A company that initially provided food delivery services swiftly evolved into a global leader in logistics and supply chains, riding the wave of the exploding e-commerce market and rapid digitization. The company has advanced because to Sahil’s vision to integrate India’s fragmented logistics industry, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
A logistics and supply chain company is called Delhivery. Through various portals, including Delivery Express, Delhivery Fulfilment, Delhivery Freight, and Delhivery Cross-Border, the company offers parcel delivery, warehouse deliveries, and truckload deliveries. It was initially intended to be a hyperlocal express delivery service for offline retailers, delivering food and flowers within the city limits of Gurugram during the first few months after its launch. Delhivery’s parent firm, SSN Logistics Private Limited, was founded as the startup.
In Gurgaon, the first corporate office was launched with a staff of ten people, including four delivery men. They initially started working with nearby restaurants and completing orders in a half-hour. The model performed admirably, and the business took off right away. They soon started getting offers from other e-commerce sites, and as a result, the business prospered. The business expanded 400% in just four years after starting, and it successfully raised a sizeable sum of money through several rounds of startup capital. Delhivery still controls the market despite opposition from a number of rivals..
