Siddhartha Logistics

What Siddhartha Logistics does

Siddhartha Logistics Co. Pvt. Ltd. is a privately held, founder-owned Indian enterprise logistics group headquartered in Mumbai, incorporated in 1997 with customs broking operations dating to 1991. The group operates through four wholly owned subsidiaries (Siddhartha Logistics, J.Basu Logistics, Smartage Projects, and Siddhartha Logistics FTWZ) and runs 25 operational locations across India with 250+ staff, generating INR 85 Crore in net turnover for FY 2022-23.

The company delivers eight integrated service lines: International Trade consulting (including SVB audit handling — 450+ cases managed), Customs Broking (45,000+ declarations annually under two master licenses), Haulage & Rigging (owned fleet of air-suspension trailers, 50-ton tri-lifter, container cranes, and high-security CCTV vans), Freight Forwarding (IATA/FIATA-accredited with MTO registration), Exhibition/Event/Artwork Logistics, Defence & Aerospace Logistics, Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) infrastructure across six locations, and MOOWR manufacturing warehouse services backed by proprietary software. Underlying technology is specialized compliance and warehouse management software rather than a software-as-a-service platform; differentiation is operational and regulatory rather than digital.

The business model is professional services on a quote-based, multi-year enterprise contract structure. Customers are 1,520+ global premium clients across engineering, defence, aerospace, exhibition, and art verticals, served via direct field sales and senior-management-led relationships. Revenue is generated through service fees on customs clearance, freight forwarding, bonded warehousing, and specialized handling, with no disclosed pricing tiers or productized offering. Marketing relies on industry association memberships (IEIA, IELA, IATA, FIATA) and official partnership designations with exhibition organizers rather than digital channels.
