5 Tech-Logistics Startups in India providing hassle-free delivery to sellers

Remember those times when we had to stand in a long queue to pay our utility bills? I clearly remember those odd times when we would have to wait for hours if we wanted to make an international call from a PCO. The case was almost similar when we needed to ship things from one part of the country to another. Except for, in the latter case, it was until very recently.
But today, with the advent of technology and its roots spreading across various verticals, our life has been simplified. Someone rightly said, “We’re seeing a race against time with logistics.” With the implementation of technology, many logistics startups in India have sprung up and are committed to providing bespoke services thus helping the logistics ecosystem to flourish.

With the growing e-commerce market, sellers often find it difficult to provide their customers with a smooth shipping experience. With the e-commerce sector’s booming rise in India, which is expected to reach USD 150 billion by 2022, the sky is the limit for the Indian sellers. Today’s logistics suppliers use strong leadership teams with intra-intercity logistics, automated smart dispatches and mind-blowing AI support. Technology is augmenting the complexities of modern transport and logistics and solving the problems of restricted pin code coverage, fewer payment options, no scope for negotiations in the shipping costs, and outdated shipping practices.

Many logistics startups in India are aiming to offer sellers an opportunity to ship their products in different parts of India and the world at the lowest rates and offer last mile solution to local business. And they all have to thank technology for enabling it.
