"Logistics in India is valued at about USD 215 billion (Rs 18 lakh crores) and contributes to ~14 per cent of the nation's GDP. The Government of India aims to reduce the overall spend (as a per cent of GDP) in line with other developed economies and improve the overall Logistics Performance Index of the country. The National Logistics Policy by the Government is a step in this direction," says Prashant Gupta, Partner - Kearney India.

At the same time, the Asian consumer is discerning, demanding more and better for less. Businesses of consequence are investing in supply chain & logistics technologies to drive digital initiatives to help their systems & processes become smarter and their supply chain more agile & resilient," says Nitin Jayakrishnan, CEO & Co-founder - Pando.
