What Skylark Express does

Skylark Express Delhi Pvt. Ltd. is a privately held Indian integrated cargo logistics company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Gurgaon with a registered office in New Delhi. The company operates a multi-modal logistics platform spanning road, rail, and air freight, complemented by warehousing (50+ facilities covering 6.5 million sq ft), packaging solutions across 8 product categories, and specialized over-dimensional cargo (ODC) transport. It moves more than 5 million tons of bulk cargo and over 0.1 million TEUs of container cargo annually, with 12,000 containers per month routed from major ports to Northern India.

The company serves enterprise clients across at least seven verticals — healthcare and pharmaceutical (cold chain), IT services, heavy industry and manufacturing, FMCG, chemicals and fertilizers, infrastructure and construction, and steel/metal — through direct enterprise sales, a 120-branch franchise network, and digital self-serve channels. Its technology stack includes a SAP-integrated Warehouse Management System (WMS), a Transportation Management System (TMS) with ERP/CRM integration, GPS/GMS real-time tracking, an enterprise API platform, and customer-facing mobile (iOS/Android) and web portals with e-invoicing.

Commercially, Skylark operates on a quote-based pricing model in which fees are typically structured as a percentage of client savings achieved, with the company claiming 20-50% freight cost reductions for clients and a 'no out-of-pocket cost' positioning for most engagements. Revenue streams mix transaction-based freight services with managed-services warehousing and cold-chain offerings. The firm is founder-led (Rakesh Yadav, Chief Managing Director; Naveen Yadav, Managing Director), holds ISO 9001:2008 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications, and reports self-stated annual revenue growth of 18-22% and profit growth of 12-25%, though no external financial disclosures or funding rounds exist.
