What Star Worldwide Group does

Star Worldwide Group Private Limited is an India-headquartered, founder-controlled diversified logistics services company established in 1996 (with roots in Mithals International Pvt. Ltd. dating to 1988). It operates four core verticals: Fine Art & Exhibitions Logistics (museum-grade packing, crating, climate-controlled transport, installation, and customs clearance for artworks), Relocations & Moving (international and domestic corporate and embassy relocations backed by FIDI-FAIM certification), Information Management (records storage, document digitization, secure shredding, e-waste, and asset tracking via O'Neill Software), and Logistics & Warehousing (freight forwarding, customs brokerage, trucking, air cargo, and 1M+ sq ft of warehouse storage). It serves multinational corporations, embassies, government departments, museums and galleries (including KNMA, National Museum, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, and Christie's), and enterprise clients across healthcare, facility management, and IT sectors.

The company is structured around five wholly-owned subsidiaries — Starbic Business Solutions (records management, 2002), Trilasoft (IT consulting including the RedSky enterprise move management platform, 2007), ShiftKarado (consumer app-based moving service, 2015), ArtPlus (domestic fine art handling, 2024), and Star Worldwide Group Dubai (UAE subsidiary, 2024) — operating through eight Indian branches plus Dubai. Its technology stack centres on IT-enabled visibility rather than AI: the RedSky move management platform, O'Neill records software, Movepulse shipment tracking, and a 24/7 control tower provide real-time tracking and operational control. Certifications include FIDI-FAIM (first Indian recipient, 2000), ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, IATA, and memberships in ICEFAT and ARTIM (the only Indian company in both), with Al Mithal having served as FIDI President in 2008.

The business model is professional services-led with quote-based pricing, 100% advance payment terms, and 15-day quotation validity. Revenue is generated across B2B enterprise field sales (regional sales heads, dedicated account managers), self-serve/app-enabled consumer moves via ShiftKarado, and channel partnerships through FIDI/Harmony/IAM global relocation networks. Marketing is anchored on event sponsorships (India Art Fair since 2013, IEIA lifetime membership), CSR initiatives, and a website-plus-organic-social funnel. The company remains privately held under the Mithal family with no disclosed external institutional investors and no public revenue or funding data.
