DTDC Express Eyes 50% Business from E-Commerce in Next 2-3 Years
DTDC Express, a delivery company, is betting big on online shopping.
They plan to have half of their business come from delivering e-commerce orders in the next few years.
They recently launched a new service called Raftaar, which promises very fast deliveries.
To help with this, they're building many new 'dark stores' to store and quickly send out products.
The company is investing a lot in technology to improve these services.
This move is due to the rapid growth of online shopping in India, where people want things delivered faster.
The goal is to make DTDC a go-to choice for brands needing quick and cost-effective delivery options, especially in a market where speedy delivery is becoming the norm.
DTDC Express projects e-commerce to constitute around 50% of its business within the next 2-3 years.
The company launched its rapid commerce vertical, Raftaar, for quick deliveries.
DTDC plans to establish 125 dark stores in the next three quarters.
India's same-day delivery market is anticipated to grow by 20-25% annually, reaching over $15 billion by 2030.
DTDC is investing significantly in technology, including AI and machine learning.
