Gxpress (www.gxpresss.com), one of the fastest-growing logistics companies in India has planned its expansion in India and abroad. The company plans to add fuel to its growth in terms of technology, workforce and number of offices worldwide.

To expand its wings, it plans to start an eCommerce express and open operational branches in 25+ cities in India by 2025 supporting all the business lines. It plans to expand its workforce to 200+ employees and onboard clientele to about 4000+ sellers in India.

Taking further to its US expansion, it plans to open warehouses in all major cities across the US including NJ, Chicago, LA, Houston. It also plans to add nomination shipments and onboard 75+ nomination clients and increase operational capacity to 3M small parcel last-mile delivery across the US.

“The logistics industry has been on the frontline since the beginning of the unprecedented crisis due to Covid-19 and lockdowns, ensuring that the supply chains remain intact. Due to the shortage of labour and the restrictions being imposed on the movement of goods and businesses, the supply has been disrupted in the past 6 months.

Now, as the businesses started opening up, we have planned our expansion in terms of recruitments, enhancement of technology and start operational offices all across the country and in major cities of US. We will focus on delivering unmatched and exclusive services in the growth of their customers by devising new strategies in the coming days” said Praveen Vashistha, Founder & Director of Gxpress.
