Ecom Express

Ecom Express Private Limited operates as an end-to-end logistics solutions provider for India's e-commerce sector. The company was founded in Gurugram in August 2012, with operations beginning in January 2013. The founders, T.A. Krishnan, Manju Dhawan, K. Satyanarayana, and the late Sanjeev Saxena, were all veterans of the logistics company Blue Dart Express. Leveraging their extensive collective experience, they identified a growing need for a specialized logistics service to cater to the burgeoning e-commerce market, which traditional courier services were not adequately addressing.

The company follows a B2B model, serving a clientele that includes major e-commerce marketplaces, D2C brands, and platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and Nykaa. Its revenue model is primarily based on shipping charges determined by factors like package size, distance, and service level agreements. Additional income is generated from a suite of value-added services, including cash-on-delivery (COD) handling, reverse logistics for product returns, and warehousing and fulfillment solutions. Ecom Express also provides digital services, such as e-KYC-Aadhar-based biometric verification and industry-specific cash and document collection, to sectors like banking and insurance.

Ecom Express offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the e-commerce industry. Its core offerings include first-mile pickup from sellers, order processing, last-mile delivery, and returns management. The company has developed specialized services like 'Ecom Ground Service' for transporting large and bulky products and 'Ecom Express Service' for standard parcel deliveries. It also provides Quality Check (QC) enabled reverse logistics, where executives perform quality checks on returned items before they are sent back to the seller. The firm utilizes a hub-and-spoke operational model and integrates technology, such as GPS-enabled vehicles and real-time tracking, to optimize routes and enhance delivery efficiency. In April 2025, Delhivery announced the acquisition of a controlling stake in Ecom Express.
