Regional players

• Kerry Logistics India: Asia-headquartered 3PL offering freight forwarding, customs brokerage and contract logistics with India presence. Comparable on freight forwarding and customs services, with complementary geographic strengths across Asia.

Direct peers

• Continental Carriers: India-based freight forwarding and customs clearing agent with FCL/LCL ocean and air freight services. Closest direct competitor given the overlapping customs brokerage and freight forwarding focus for Indian import/export clients.
• Safexpress: Indian express logistics and supply chain solutions provider offering freight forwarding, warehousing and distribution services. Comparable on India-domestic logistics and warehousing, though Threestar differentiates with stronger customs brokerage depth.
• DTDC Express: Indian integrated parcel and logistics company offering domestic and international courier, freight forwarding and supply chain solutions. Comparable on international courier and freight forwarding for SME import/export clients.
• Transport Corporation of India (TCI): Indian freight forwarding and logistics company providing multimodal transport (road, rail, sea, air), warehousing, customs clearance and supply chain solutions across India. Directly comparable service mix and customer segments, but with public-market scale and broader geographic footprint.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding India: Multinational freight forwarder with strong India operations covering ocean/air freight forwarding, customs clearance and contract logistics. Competes for the same import/export clients but offers global owned infrastructure that Threestar lacks.

Directly comparable on freight forwarding and customs services in India, but operates at significantly larger scale with global owned infrastructure.
• Expeditors India: Global logistics company providing ocean/air freight forwarding, customs services and supply chain solutions with strong India operations. Comparable on freight forwarding and customs, but typically targets larger enterprise accounts.
• Kuehne+Nagel India: Global freight forwarder with significant India presence offering sea/air freight forwarding, customs brokerage and contract logistics. Comparable core offering, but with multinational scale and integrated IT platforms.
• Maersk India (A.P. Moller-Maersk): Global ocean carrier and integrated logistics provider with India operations covering ocean freight, customs clearance, inland logistics and warehousing. Comparable on ocean freight forwarding and customs brokerage in India.
