What Bombino Express does

Bombino Express is a privately held international courier and logistics company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, with a US regional headquarters in Hackensack, New Jersey. The company operates eight integrated service lines — air freight, ocean freight, parcel delivery, door-to-door, e-commerce courier, warehousing, cross-border logistics, and customs clearance — covering 150+ countries across six continents from a network of 13 Indian branch offices and 3 USA offices. Its route-specific product portfolio is anchored on six India-to-international corridors (USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia, Singapore), each with customs expertise tailored to the destination jurisdiction (US CBP/ISF, UK HMRC/EORI, UAE ECAS, Canada CBSA/CARM, Australian DAFF, Singapore TradeNet).

The underlying technology stack is a web-based logistics platform with real-time shipment tracking, EDI interfacing with carriers, a digital warehouse management system using barcoding and temperature monitoring, and an ocean freight management dashboard for FCL/LCL operations. Customer-facing digital channels include a web booking portal, mobile apps on iOS and Android, the TrackMate authenticated client portal, a quick-rate calculator, a payment platform (Bombino Pay), and WhatsApp-based customer service. Strategic execution relies on integration partnerships with DHL and FedEx for customs authorization and last-mile delivery, plus relationships with global airlines and trucking partners for cross-border capacity.

The revenue model is primarily transactional, with fees collected per shipment across air courier, ocean freight (per container or per cubic meter), customs clearance, and door-to-door (DDP) services, supplemented by managed-services revenue from warehousing and e-commerce fulfillment. Pricing is quote-based and unpublished. Customer concentration is distributed across three primary segments: Indian exporters and manufacturers, non-resident Indian (NRI) individuals and diaspora shippers, and e-commerce sellers targeting global marketplaces, with a long tail of 100k+ customers served since inception. The company is family-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, holds ISO 9001 certification, and BBB accreditation for its US entity.
