ACCELERATING INDIA’S LOGISTICS & WAREHOUSING REVOLUTION WITH
THE INFLUX OF INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Corporate Review | Sugam Sharma

ver the years, the logistics sector
has been the constant fuel,
boosting India’s quest for being a
manufacturing giant. Further, the
COVID-19 pandemic has changed
the role of logistics into a principal
one; it is not in the supporting
Orole anymore. Past years have
looped in rapid growth for the logistics industry on
the grounds of improved infrastructure facilities,
increase in retail & eCommerce, rising domestic as
well as global consumption, and seamless access to
the global market. Currently, it contributes more
than $200 billion to the national economy and
employs more than 40 million people.
Upgrading the country’s logistics landscape,
logistics start-ups in India have gained a substantial
foothold and new entrants are gaining traction in the
industry. As multiple challenges continue to mire the
industry, some companies have successfully seized
the opportunity to create their mark on the most
vital areas of disruption in the logistics industry
by leveraging the power of digital technology and
delivering a tailor-made menu of services. And that’s
where the duo of Capt. Aditya Singh and Manjit
Singh Kathuria thought of shaking the industry’s
competitive dynamics and launched a robust logis-
tics platform to unlock the potential of the sector,
PurpleDrone-India’s leading logistics start-up that
channelizes the science of warehousing to deliver
the ultimate end-to-end quality logistics and ware-
housing solutions.
