Seair

What Seair does

Seair Global is a privately held freight forwarding and logistics company founded in Asia circa 2003 and now operating across India, the United States, and Canada with five offices (Navi Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Tacoma, and Surrey). The company provides end-to-end supply chain services spanning six integrated lines: air freight, sea freight (FCL and LCL), customs brokerage, warehousing and e-commerce fulfillment, Amazon FBA logistics, and manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) shipping. Its core customer segments are Amazon FBA sellers, Asia-based exporters and manufacturers, and e-commerce brands moving goods between South/East Asia and North America.

The technology stack centers on an AI-enabled Transportation Management System (TMS) with API integrations, real-time costing tools, live shipment tracking, and a unified digital dashboard for invoices, freight spend, and performance reporting. Seair also operates proprietary compliance software for E-Manifest, AMS, and IGM filings. The company holds regulated credentials including FMC licensing, IATA accreditation, Dangerous Goods certification, and licensed customs brokerage in both the US and India. Its carrier ecosystem spans 17+ airline partnerships and direct contracts with five Tier 1 ocean carriers (CMA CGM, MSC, ONE, COSCO, Hyundai Marine), supplemented by WCA Intermodal and WCA Time Critical network memberships for global reciprocal forwarding flows.

The business model is primarily transaction-fee based on freight margins, with managed-services revenue from warehousing and fulfillment, and professional-services revenue from customs brokerage. Go-to-market is sales-led through regional Business Development Managers in India and North America, complemented by inbound referral flow from the WCA forwarder network. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The company is founder-owned by the Sachdeva family, with Kunal Thakkar (ex-Thrasio, Newegg, Walmart International eCommerce) serving as CEO and Sameeksha Sachdeva as Founder/President. No external institutional funding rounds or PE backing have been disclosed.

Regional players

• Delhivery: India-headquartered end-to-end logistics and supply chain company offering freight, warehousing, and last-mile services. Comparable to Seair on India-origin operations, technology-driven platform approach, and end-to-end service model, though primarily serving the domestic Indian market.
