Starex Logistics India Private Limited

What Starex Logistics India Private Limited does

Starex Logistics India Private Limited is a privately held, founder-owned Indian third-party logistics provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Thane, Maharashtra. The company delivers end-to-end supply chain services — warehousing and inventory management, road-based transportation, door-to-door last-mile delivery, freight forwarding, customs clearance, and value-added services such as kitting, barcoding, and shrink wrapping — to B2B clients including enterprises in the consumer durables and electronics categories. Operations span seven Indian cities (Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, and Delhi), anchored by a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse facility in Bhiwandi/Vadape on the Mumbai–Nashik highway and supported by branch offices in Thane, Mumbai, and Pune. The company runs an owned multi-class fleet (Tata Ace, Mahindra PikUp, Tata 407, Eicher Pro 1059, and 20/32/40 FT containers/trailers) and maintains an in-house Warehouse Management System (WMS), an in-house Transport Management System (TMS), and GPS-enabled real-time tracking across all vehicles.

The business operates on a mixed pricing model: multi-year contractual engagements for recurring clients (no freight refunds; bespoke terms) and pay-as-you-go transactional pricing for non-contractual shippers, with freight refunds available within 30 days of delivery for the latter. Demurrage, warehousing, and detention charges accrue at 0.1% of declared value or Rs1/Kg per day (whichever higher, minimum Rs100 per shipment) after 48 hours of arrival. Customer acquisition is sales-led and field-driven, supported by a website with 'Get A Quote' call-to-action, phone-based sales, branch-level contact channels, and a self-serve Track Docket portal for shipment visibility. The company does not operate a mobile app, does not maintain disclosed social media profiles, and has not received public external investment or disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial figures.

The company is governed by three co-founders — Jairaj M. Mohinani (Chief Managing Partner, 25 years industry experience), Harish M. Mohinani (Senior Partner, 20 years), and Manoj S. Triphati (Manager, 15 years) — with second-generation managers Rohit Mohinani and Harsh Mohinani joining in 2020. In 2018 the firm restructured from a partnership into an LLP and extended its offering internationally via partnerships with customs clearance and air transport providers. The company holds a long-standing industry association with the Bombay Goods Transport Association (BGTA) since 2012.
