What Silver Arrow does
Silver Arrow Logistics Solutions (P) Ltd is a Chennai-headquartered, bootstrapped logistics aggregator founded in 2012 by Ashwin Rangarajan and Aditya Gupta, both formerly with FedEx Express. The company operates a tech-enabled aggregation model, consolidating domestic express logistics through tie-ups with FedEx, Delhivery, GATI, Rivigo, SpotOn, Safexpress, and DTDC/DotZot, and international freight via DHL Express, TNT Express, FedEx Express, and UPS, supplemented by regional Tamil Nadu players. Its core products include Logistics Aggregation, Ecommerce Shipping Solutions with COD reconciliation and multi-carrier shipping label generation, End-to-End Logistics Support spanning first-mile to last-mile delivery, Surface Express Logistics with pan-India pin-code coverage, and the consumer-facing e-portal shipbazar.com launched in 2017.
The company monetizes primarily through transaction fees and commissions on aggregated shipments, operating on a quote-based B2B model with dedicated customer service professionals deployed per account. Its stated technology stack combines IoT sensors for real-time tracking and data exchange with AI for risk detection, anomaly alerts, and process automation, plus a claimed proprietary path-breaking pickup-and-delivery model that the company asserts is unique in the Indian courier industry. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across ecommerce, pharma and medical equipment, precious metals and jewellery (including Caratlane/Tanishq and Titan Eye Plus), sports and fitness, textiles, food/confectionery, loyalty/rewards, IT, and chemicals.
The company transitioned from a partnership structure to a private limited company in 2017, remains founder-owned with no institutional capital, and claims a workforce of over 3,000 across India with what it describes as the lowest attrition in the industry, alongside active careers and shipbazar.com channels signaling ongoing organizational scaling.
