iKargos.com Doubles Revenue to ₹100 Crore, Defies Funding Winter with Profitable Growth
PNN New Delhi [India], June 6: Amidst a challenging funding climate for startups, a largely bootstrapped digital logistics platform, has achieved a significant milestone, doubling its revenue from ₹50 crore last fiscal to ₹100 crore this year. Founded in 2020 by Rekha Atri, set out to digitize international logistics. Today, it stands as a comprehensive cross-border supply chain platform, streamlining global shipping with transparency and cost-effectiveness. "Logistics is notoriously complex, often involving over 20 entities just to move a single shipment," says Rekha Atri. "For frequent importers and exporters, managing multiple shipments can be overwhelming. Our platform consolidates everything into one user-friendly dashboard, allowing customers to oversee their entire supply chain online. As the only fully integrated provider offering all services in-house, we deliver a seamless, end-to-end experience." Sustained, Profitable Growth growth story is remarkable, not only has it matched the pace of well-funded startups, but it has done so profitably. The company has grown at an impressive 300% annually for five consecutive years, breaking even in its second year and maintaining profitability ever since. After an initial seed round from GAIL, has operated without further external funding, relying on operational excellence and technology-driven solutions. Co-founder Prashant Dwivedi, an IIM Calcutta alumnus and logistics PhD scholar, is optimistic about the future. "These numbers are just the beginning. In a globalized world, logistics is the backbone of every business, whether it's Amazon or Zomato, their edge is swift delivery. As price differences shrink, logistics becomes the key differentiator. Take Apple's air-shipping of iPhones to the US to avoid tariffs, such moves save millions. That's the power of logistics." He adds, "The global logistics industry was valued at $10.5 trillion in 2024 and is projected to reach $15.8 trillion by 2030. As businesses move online, logistics enables seamless delivery and drives growth. Giants like Amazon and Walmart are investing heavily in logistics, and the sector is poised for phenomenal expansion." This year, introduced Strategic Sourcing as a new service line, tapping into its deep expertise in the EXIM market. "We're seeing strong traction in this vertical and believe it holds immense potential," Prashant notes. Riding the Wave of Government Reforms India's logistics sector is undergoing transformation, spurred by government initiatives like the National Logistics Policy (NLP), launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2022. The NLP aims to reduce logistics costs from 13-14% to global standards, enhancing the competitiveness of Indian products domestically and internationally. The policy targets a reduction in logistics costs to 8% of GDP by 2030. The Indian logistics market is projected to reach $215 billion in the next two years, up from $160 billion, with a CAGR of 10.5% through 2025 (ICRA). The sector employs over 22 million people, a number expected to grow by 5% annually with ongoing skill development initiatives. is well-positioned to benefit from this policy push and the sector's robust growth trajectory. Expanding Market Presence With offices at all major Indian ports, 18+ domestic locations, and an international base in the UAE, boasts a vast network. Its agent partnerships enable delivery to 158 countries, including the USA, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The company serves over 500 clients, ranging from industry leaders to emerging businesses - and handles more than 3,000 commodities, from food and electronics to apparel and packaging. Even established international logistics firms are partnering with to leverage its seamless digital infrastructure. Comprehensive Service Portfolio offers a full suite of services: Strategic Sourcing, Air and Sea Freight, Customs Clearance, HS Code Search, Certification, Product Compliance, Warehousing, Inland Transportation, First and Last Mile Delivery, Cargo Insurance, Online Tracking, Supply Chain Consulting, Reporting & Analytics, and Survey & Inspection. This all-in-one approach allows clients to manage their entire cross-border logistics process effortlessly. Investor Confidence Serial entrepreneur and early investor Praveen Sinha expresses strong confidence in the company's trajectory: "When I backed I believed in the founders and the industry's potential. Prashant is a visionary with deep domain expertise. I wouldn't be surprised if becomes a unicorn in the coming years." About Founded in 2020, is a next-generation LogTech company revolutionizing cross-border logistics with technology, transparency, and a customer-first approach. With a growing global footprint and a robust, integrated service model, is redefining how businesses manage international supply chains.

Why I miss my local kirana store: Confessions of a serial delivery-app user
It's been four years since I started using apps like Blinkit, Swiggy, and Zepto. For the first two, I barely thought about it. They were fast, convenient, and fit perfectly into the chaos of my college, living-in-Mumbai life. Surrounded by people all the time, in classes, the canteen, or even down the road, I'd do anything to avoid another social interaction. And the option of ordering something on a quick-commerce app offered just that comfort, a quiet pocket amid all the noise. But something shifted when I moved cities for work. I was living alone now. Friends were far away, family even farther. Most of my time went into figuring out money, rent, food, and the million other things no one warns you about. Now, I missed the tiniest interactions, the ones you don't even register when you're busy being social by default. Now, socialising took effort. And I started to realise what the convenience of delivery apps was quietly replacing: the walks I skipped, the conversations that never happened, the local prices I no longer understood. No one is as disappointed in me as my dad for not knowing how much a kilo of mangoes costs. In a world constantly on the move, where workdays spill into late nights, where we live far from home and physical stores often feel out of reach, Q-commerce platforms have become an everyday essential. Need coffee? Bread? A razor? Tap a few buttons and it's at your door in ten minutes. These apps have nailed speed, range, and efficiency. It works — until it doesn't. What began as a fix for urgency became something else: a reflex. I wasn't ordering because I needed something. I was ordering because it was easy. Almost too easy. I often think back to childhood. Growing up in a small town, buying chocolates or chips meant walking with my brother and friends to the neighbourhood shop. When my mother asked me to go get milk or biscuits for unexpected guests, I would throw a tantrum, wishing for the fix I despise today. But those errands taught us things without trying to — how to spend, how to choose, how to talk to strangers, and sometimes, how to walk away without buying anything. It was all built into the experience, without ever seeming like a lesson. That walk to the store was once forgettable, even annoying. Now, for many like me, it has become 'the thing'. We force ourselves to go outside, to not order in, because the room can feel imprisoning. In the age of instant gratification, everything's designed to be faster, smoother, and frictionless. But in removing the friction, we also remove the feeling. Grocery stores used to be a little boring, a little messy, and sometimes unexpectedly lovely. You might chat with someone on the street, discover something new in the market, or just stretch your legs after a long day. Now? Sadness has a shortcut — a ten-minute delivery offering a dopamine hit that fades just as fast. We also move less. Those mini walks to the store, the quick sprints before closing time, rushing to the stationary store to buy political maps for tomorrow's geography lesson, have been replaced by a single tap. We are always on the go, but weirdly still. There's no release, no break, no in-between space. It's work, screen, delivery, repeat. Socially, the gap widens too. The shopkeeper who remembers your favourite biscuit brand, the old aunty who asks where you have been — these tiny connections are vanishing. There's no credit system anymore, no end-of-month snack debt to settle. The trust your neighbourhood shopkeeper had in you, the nod that said 'pay later', is gone. And then there's awareness. When you stop visiting markets or shops, you lose a sense of what things cost, what's fresh, and what's worth your money. You stop comparing. You start buying what the algorithm suggests — another pen, a fancy drink, a lip balm you saw in a reel. It's easy to fall into 'I see it, I want it' because the system makes you feel like you deserve it. And maybe you do. But maybe you just need to feel something. These apps aren't villains. They are incredibly useful, especially when you're tired, sick, working late, just having one of those days, or even want a last-minute gift delivered to your doorstep. They do what they promise, and they do it well. But when we stop using them mindfully, when they become our first option instead of a last resort, we end up giving away more than just our money. We give away our movement, patience, curiosity, and our sense of place. In a world already leaning toward loneliness, where most of us are glued to screens and disconnected from community, even small things like going to buy milk or fruit can offer something grounding. You step out, you see people, you breathe. You feel like you are part of a world again. So no, I am not quitting Blinkit. I will probably order from it this weekend. But I am also trying to walk to the store, one that is literally 200m away, more often. Not because it's cheaper (though it usually is), not because I need the steps (though I do), but because I want to stay in touch with the world outside my door. Sometimes, what you really need isn't a ten-minute delivery. It's a ten-minute walk.

Building tech-driven startups: LSET's role in shaping the future of AI and cybersecurity
As artificial intelligence and cybersecurity reshape industries, the path from concept to commercial product is becoming increasingly complex. The London School of Emerging Technology (LSET) is responding with an integrated approach that combines deep technical education with practical startup support—positioning itself not just as a training ground, but as a launchpad for innovation in high-impact technology sectors. LSET's Innovation Lab serves as a crucible for early-stage ideas, giving founders access to infrastructure for rapid prototyping and technical validation. This includes access to GPU-enabled environments for AI model development and secure sandboxes for cybersecurity testing —resources typically out of reach for early-stage entrepreneurs. Complementing this is the Startup Incubator , which supports ventures tackling technical challenges such as real-time threat detection, adversarial AI defense, or scalable machine learning pipelines. Startups receive technical mentorship from domain experts and engineers, enabling them to move from whiteboard concepts to deployable solutions faster and with greater resilience. Once technical foundations are validated, the Accelerator Program provides the next stage: market integration. With a focus on enterprise-grade architecture, regulatory readiness, and integration with cloud-native ecosystems, the program emphasizes not just innovation, but execution. A key differentiator is LSET's talent pipeline. Startups within its ecosystem gain direct access to graduates of intensive programs in full-stack software engineering, AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and DevOps. These individuals are trained on current frameworks—ranging from Kubernetes and Terraform to PyTorch and Transformer-based NLP models—and are immediately deployable. In fields where technical recruitment is often a bottleneck, this embedded talent network allows startups to build, iterate, and scale with less reliance on external hiring markets. Rather than treating cybersecurity and AI as adjacent specializations, LSET integrates them into every level of its curriculum and startup programs. AI initiatives focus on ethical AI deployment, real-time model interpretability, and the security of machine learning systems themselves—key concerns in regulated industries. Cybersecurity work at LSET spans threat modeling, penetration testing, and secure software development life cycles (SDLCs). Startups working in this space benefit from active collaboration with cybersecurity professionals and access to threat intelligence tools, creating a continuous feedback loop between innovation and protection. Technical Infrastructure for Global Founders For international founders, establishing a presence in the UK comes with logistical and regulatory complexity. For UK Innovator Founder Visa, LSET works closely with trusted immigration partners who can guide applicants through the endorsement process. This ensures that founders of AI tools or cybersecurity platforms are evaluated by peers with relevant technical fluency. Moreover, partnerships with legal and compliance experts ensure startups meet UK data protection and infrastructure standards—vital for ventures working with sensitive data or deploying in enterprise environments. London's positioning as a global tech hub offers significant downstream advantages to LSET-affiliated startups. Proximity to fintechs, research institutions, and government-backed R&D funding creates opportunities for pilot programs, integrations, and policy-shaping dialogues—especially important in fast-moving domains like AI safety and zero-trust architecture. Startups can access UK innovation grants, participate in sector-specific expos, and collaborate with larger firms exploring AI-driven automation or advanced threat prevention systems. What makes LSET stand out is not the promise of support, but the intentional design of infrastructure around deep-tech venture building. The integration of technical labs, skilled human capital, legal scaffolding, and market connectivity forms a coherent stack—enabling startups to focus on solving hard problems instead of piecing together fragmented services. In an era where AI systems require fine-tuned deployment and cybersecurity solutions must evolve in real time, LSET offers a model that is aligned with how modern tech companies are built: fast, focused, and ready for complexity.
