This issue of ITLN has a special focus on e-commerce as at least the Cover Story and
Special Report touches upon some of the most important elements in its journey: last mile and micro fulfilment.

Titled “Ride: India’s last-mile growth spurt to scale new heights” Manula Nair’s Cover Story helps you navigate the twists and turns of the Indian last-mile delivery ecosystem. She cites the May 2021 study by the market research firm RedSeer which found that the overall road logistics constitutes ~8% of India’s GDP, with expectations high for markets touching $ 6 billion in profits by 2024.  She also talks to some of the last mile delivery companies, aggregators and technology firms to understand the dynamics.

In her Special Report, Lakshmi Ajay decodes the mythical ‘dark stores’ or ‘micro fulfilment centres that are the backbone of the instant delivery wars of e-retailers and grocers and are shifting closer to the consumer. How do they function and what is their future in India’s fast- changing e-commerce landscape?

Focus, written by Jyothi Shankaran, reads “The confidence with which Indian companies in the last-mile delivery, warehousing and supply chain space talk about taking tech challenges head-on is an absolute delight. What’s holding them? Or is there anything holding them back at all?”

Libin Chacko Kurian, in his Report, lists eight things that the Indian logistics Industry wants its government to do. He talks to industry experts and stakeholders to understand how the industry perceives the government initiatives and asked some crucial questions: Are they on the right track? Is there anything they are missing? And what should be their next focus?
