Mohali Startup Connects Rural India to International Couriers
Imagine you live in a small village and want to send a package to another country.
It used to be difficult!
Two friends, Harinder and Lovesangeet, started a company to solve this problem.
Their company, Countryside Express, lets people in villages drop off packages locally.
The company then sends the packages all over the world, just like city-based courier services.
The company started in Mohali, got funding, and even helped deliver important medical supplies during the pandemic.
Now, they have many drop-off locations and plan to expand even more.
Countryside Express Logistics was launched in 2018 by two founders.
The company provides domestic and international courier and cargo services.
It allows village residents to send parcels abroad without traveling to the city.
The company utilizes a hub-and-spoke model with 200+ booking points.
Countryside Express received funding from Startup India Seed Fund and other sources.
