According to a recent report, the market for logistics -technology businesses, which include delivery start-ups, truck aggregators and warehousing firms, is expected to surge to $9.6 billion by 2020 from $ 1.4 billion in 2015. India’s logistics sector’s primary expectation lies with the timely implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) as it will cut down the various taxes involved in the transportation of goods and services, and will also increase efficiency in the business. Logistics is the practice of moving resources from a manufacturer or vendor and getting the merchandise into the hands of the customers with the least cost, time and effort. With a sole aim to contribute to Kerala’s economic upswing, Allepey Parcel Service (APS) has completed 36 years of service in this booming sector.
