This is the present state of Indian trucking industry – highly unorganized and highly fragmented.

TruckSuvidha Is Trying To Crack The $130 Billion Indian Trucking Industry

In order to address these gaps, Amit Punaini and Ishu Bansal came forward with their B2B portal TruckSuvidha in September last year. The startup is based in Yamuna Nagar, Haryana. The main idea is to bridge the gap between the customer, transporter and other related entities, thereby helping the logistics industry meet the required demand-supply ratio, by bringing all the key players on a single common platform.

The founders believe that despite of having 4.7% contribution to country’s GDP, the logistics industry is still not able to give its due share.
