The concerns raised by Minister Piyush Goyal highlight the critical need to balance the growth of e-commerce with the welfare of small retailers and the broader economy. While the e-commerce sector in India is projected to reach $188 billion by 2025, it currently represents only about 7% of the total retail market. However, with Flipkart and Amazon controlling over 80% of the online retail space, the risk of market concentration is significant. Addressing these challenges requires a nuanced approach to policy, focusing on sustainable growth and inclusive development.

*****ATTENTION: PAYMENT DEFAULT by HYRETAIL TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD, Faridabad ***** Dear Transporters, Brokers and Customers Recently, we had the privilege of serving Hyretail Technologies for two critical trips—one from Manesar to Bangalore and the other from Bhiwandi to Hyderabad. We didnt even demand advanced payment, we trusted sales people like Prabhat singh and Puran from Hyretail, we deployed our vehicle, we paid for the fuel. We paid for the drivers expenses, we made sure the shipment gets delivered with proper temperature and with proper security.  However, despite our best efforts, we are still awaiting payment from Hyretail Technologies for these services. It has been over a month since the completion of these trips, and unfortunately, our attempts to reach out to their representatives have been unsuccessful. Mr. Sumit Sharma (MD), Mr. Prabhat Singh (Sales) and Mr. Puran (Sales), whom we previously communicated with, no longer accept our calls. We have even confirmed with the client of Hyretail for who our services were used, client has confirmed to us that the payment for the trip is already made to Hyretail. This is a clear case of cheating and stealing. Given this situation, I believe it is essential for us to discuss whether Hyretail Technologies should be given further jobs. As a community of transporters, brokers and Customers , We rely on trust and timely payments to sustain our operations. Those people who dont give the money, such people should be barred from Logistics Industry so that they will not get any further opportunity to cheat us. Your support and input are crucial as we navigate this challenge. This is not just about Coolman. We want to raise awareness on payment defaults as many of you must have faced these issues. We need to come together and teach a lesson to the corporate like Hyretail technologies who deliberately defaulted on our payments. We need your support in this regard. By standing together, we can create a stronger voice against such cheaters. When we unite, we send a clear message that payment defaults are unacceptable in transportation industry and we will not tolerate them. Regards Amit Chopra  Coolman

What are the top key drivers of growth in the logistics sector in India? I believe the key drivers are the rise of India as a manufacturing hub, changes in consumer behaviour due to the e-commerce boom, increasing purchasing power, demand for multi-client warehouses, and significant infrastructural development collectively contribute to the sector’s robust growth. You can read my thoughts on Manufacturing Today India’s article on “Top 5 key drivers of growth in the logistics and warehousing industry” Do let me know your views on this in the comments section Read the full article https://lnkd.in/gB5Tifm3 #emizaimpact #logistics #supplychain #growth #letsbuildtogether #ecommerce #supplychaititans

Vew Express Logpro Supply Chain Solutions #new logistics policy#supplychain The NLP thus aims to promote seamless movement of goods and enhances the competitiveness of Indian industries. Also, it seeks to reduce the logistics cost from 16 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to a global average of 8 per cent by 2030. Further, as per the estimates, the worth of the Indian logistics market will be around $ 215 Bn in the next two years compared to $ 160 Bn. Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India Limited (ICRA) estimates that the sector will develop at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.5 per cent through 2025 after growing at a CAGR of 7.8 per cent over the past five years. This sector employs more than 22 million people in India, which through skill development is expected to grow at the rate of 5 per cent in 5 years. The four significant steps to be undertaken for NLP include: Integration of Digital System (IDS): There will be digital integration of different systems of seven various departments (like road transport, railways, aviation, commerce ministries and foreign trade) Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP): This ensures shorter and smoother cargo movement and enables the exchange of information confidentially on a real-time basis. This National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) Logistics Data Bank Project has been leveraged. Ease of Logistics (ELOG): will enable and ensure the ease of logistics business through transparency and accessibility System Improvement Group: will monitor all logistics-related projects regularly

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐲: 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 Spinny Spinny Care Dear Niraj Singh sir, I had initially assumed that Spinny would offer a more professional and customer-centric experience compared to traditional car dealerships. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite, and here’s why: 1. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The app displayed incorrect details about the car I was interested in. Features such as power windows and driver seat height adjustment were listed but were not available in the actual vehicle. 2. 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Upon inspection, the car’s engine condition was far from satisfactory. This raises serious questions about their quality checks. 3. 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: While the staff during the visit were courteous, I received a follow-up call from someone today who was rude and unprofessional. This level of arrogance before even making a purchase makes me wonder how the post-sale experience would be. 4. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 : I understand that there might be mistakes in the app information, but at the very least, the staff should be trained to be more courteous and respectful toward customers. Insulting behavior is simply unacceptable. With this kind of pre-buying experience, I can only imagine how difficult and frustrating it would be to deal with them after purchasing a car. Spinny, I expected much better. Has anyone else faced a similar experience with Spinny or other online car retailers? #CustomerExperience #Spinny #CarBuying #Disappointed #TransparencyMatters #spinnycars

How to save diesel: 1. Use tubless tyres: 8% less fuel consumption compared to normal radial tyres. 2. Align incentives: Make fuel a part of driver remuneration. When you treat your driver like a partner you should split the winnings of fuel savings with them. 3. Training and counselling: Everytime there is a high RPM running or idling, nudge the driver to improve by training. Convince them that better consumption is better for thier pay. 4. Monitoring: Work with a telematics partner that helps you track driver behavour, fuel consumption and vehicle health data. https://lnkd.in/dyRuE9rc

🎯 Efficient logistics systems support the growth of various industries by ensuring that goods are transported and delivered in a timely manner. This helps in reducing costs, enhancing productivity, and driving economic development. 🎯 Logistics is essential for facilitating trade, both domestic and international.
