Logistics always demands corporations and professionals to drive advancement through a combination of efficiency and innovation. India’s logistics industry is estimated to be valued at $288 billion in 2023, with projections indicating a growth to $380 billion by 2025, and $500 billion+ by the next decade. The industry has gone through paradigm shifts in the recent past, embracing the changes post-GST and e-way bill implementations, while also tackling the unprecedented impact of the COVID pandemic.

Challenges and pressures remain for the industry, as the Indian economy still needs to work towards reducing logistics costs as % of GDP in line with global standards. Government and industry initiatives such as the National Logistics Policy (NLP), Unified Payment Logistics Platform (ULIP), Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and PM Gati Shakti initiatives focused on logistics are pushing the industry towards greater collaboration and openness. But it remains the onus of the logistics companies to evolve and be the beacons of change.

This summit emphasizes the need to explore and adopt new business models that not only respond to emerging challenges but also maintain its customer promises of providing swifter deliveries, customized solutions, sustainable practices, and high-quality experiences. This year’s summit aims to engage logistics leaders of today and tomorrow in a series of thought-provoking discussions, that will aim to solve the challenges at the heart of modern logistics. These sessions follow a forward-thinking tone for the event, encouraging participants to explore new ideas and technologies that will shape the future of logistics.
