Having the tools of the trade is as important as what you make of them. We talk with Amarinder Singh, MD, Arikas Logistics, to learn how he helps deliver them.

Tell us something about the journey that led to the formation of the company. How has the business evolved from then to now?

There are a lot of companies involved in the logistics business, but we realised that most of the players were too focused on traditional goods transport, which were shipped in containers and didn’t require much planning or care across the route. Yet there were companies that required special handling for unique machinery and materials that weren’t suitable for traditional cargo services. We decided to put our attention towards fulfilling this niche of the cargo forwarding segment, which led to the rise of Arikas Logistics. Today we handle end-to-end pickup and delivery of all sorts of over-dimensional goods and equipment for various large scale projects related to infrastructure development and other fields.

Tell us something about the services that you offer across various segments. What do you think is the USP that helps you stand out from the competition?
