Jeena & Company

What Jeena & Company does

Jeena & Company is a 125-year-old Indian freight forwarding and integrated logistics provider headquartered in Mumbai, founded in 1900 by Pallonji Katgara and Jamshedji Dastoor and still controlled by the Katgara family (4th and 5th generation). The company operates a multi-modal service stack spanning air freight, sea freight (FCL and LCL), multimodal transport, project and heavy-lift cargo, customs brokerage (licensed CHA), 3PL and contract logistics, door-to-door delivery, and a specialized pharmaceutical cold chain division branded Jeena Criticare. Its operational footprint covers 17+ offices across India plus an Australia regional HQ serving Australasia and New Zealand, with an agent network spanning 60 countries and 4,820+ serviceable multimodal locations within India; the company states it handles 18 million shipments annually and employs approximately 689–700 staff.

The business is supported by proprietary technology assets including the Jeena 24/7 customer portal and mobile app (real-time tracking, document management, billing, with 68+ enterprise users), the J5 internal operational system for customer history and onboarding, and a Warehouse Management System tied to its 1.10 lakh sq. ft. facility near Nhava Sheva port. A joint venture with Schnellecke Logistics Germany (Schnellecke Jeena Logistics India Pvt Ltd, formed in 2010) extends the company into CKD sub-assembly, warehousing, and integrated automotive logistics. Regulatory certifications — AEO-T2, WHO GDP for pharma, IATA, FIATA, TIACA, FFFAI, ISO 9001:2015 (Australia), and ISO 27001 — form a defensible compliance layer that is particularly relevant for pharma, defence, automotive, and government customers.

Jeena generates revenue through transaction fees on freight forwarding, managed-services contracts for 3PL and cold chain, professional-services fees for customs clearance, and project-based logistics fees for heavy-lift and door-to-door work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales supported by Key Account Managers and a global agent network. The customer base is vertically diversified across pharma/healthcare, automotive, energy/infrastructure, defence, retail/e-commerce, chemicals, electronics, FMCG, and engineering, with named accounts including NIH Mumbai and Specto International Kuwait alongside unnamed pharma MNCs, automotive OEMs, FMCG multinationals, and cosmetics brands. Recent strategic moves include three trade-lane partnerships in 2026 (OEC Group Canada, Scan-Shipping Scandinavia, Envirotainer pharma cold chain), professional leadership appointments (Prediman Koul as CEO in July 2025; Swati Ranade as Group CHRO effective July 2026), and a green-logistics partnership with Sangti Solutions.
