What ARCON Container does

ARCON Container is a Mumbai-based Strategic Business Unit of Sarjak Container Lines Pvt. Ltd., itself part of the Saksham Group of Companies, a diversified Indian logistics conglomerate spanning project logistics, chemical transportation, container trading, custom broking, and IT solutions. The company positions itself as a complete container solution provider, with a product portfolio that spans Dry & Special Containers (including 20ft Flat Rack and 40ft Open Top variants), ISO Tank Containers (T11, T14 Lined, T20 AHF, T22 Bromine, T50 Gas, Cement Dry Bulk, and T75 Cryogenic/LNG), Coil-tainers for steel and aluminum transport, Modular Containers (Security Cabins, PUF-insulated Cabins, Office Cabins, Portable Toilets, Prefabricated Cabins), and Refrigerated Containers in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes with -30°C to +25°C temperature control. The portfolio is certified to ISO 668, ISO 1496 (Parts 1-5), ISO 6346, and the CSC Convention for Safe Containers.

Revenue is generated through three service lines operated via a self-service digital portal at portal.arconcontainer.com: one-way container movement (transaction-based, reducing empty repositioning costs for shippers and freight forwarders), container trading via buy/sell (transaction/take-rate), and container leasing across domestic and EXIM use cases (recurring subscription-style rentals with no capital investment, in-built insurance, digital locks, and no maintenance obligations). Managed services — including release document preparation, depot coordination, tracking, and return forecasting — complement the three core lines. Distribution combines the self-serve portal with a direct sales force organized by container type (Dry & Specials, ISO Tanks, Leasing) and region, with regional product heads covering India, Russia, China, America, Europe, and Saudi Arabia.

The target customer base spans six verticals (Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare, Chemicals, Manufacturing & Metals, Construction & Infrastructure, Energy & Gas) and three business-unit segments (NVOCCs, shipping lines, and freight forwarders). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial terms are negotiated per customer agreement. The company is led by CEO Supal Shah and COO Anand Sheth, with a management team of approximately 251-500 employees and no external institutional funding or public listing.
