Tripath Logistics Relationship Etched In Trust

The name literally encompasses all that the company offers as a logistics entity. Going by the official description, the key sound ‘Tri’ in Tripath Logistics refers to the River Ganges, one of whose many names is ‘Tripatha Gamini’. The name in Hindu scriptures indicates the river’s arduous yet jubilant journey from the ‘swarga’ (heaven) to ‘bhumi’ (earth) to nourish humans and then finally reach ‘patala’ (netherworld). The hidden meaning in tracking the River Ganges’ journey indicates logistics. On another note, ‘Tri’ is three in its etymological meaning – be it in Indian languages or in English – and it symbolizes Tripath Logistics’ tri-fold services, by road, air, and waterways, including project cargo handling.

Service with trust

When one talks to the officials of Tripath Logistics, it is easy to perceive a deeply embedded sense of trust – both that they offer to their clients and the trust that their team has invested in the founding directors.

Tripath Logistics was founded by six professionals in September 2014 when their previous logistics company was acquired and their colleagues were in the danger of losing jobs.

Mr. Badari G. Gubbi, CMD, shares: “We decided then to start out on our own where all six of us decided to take care of every aspect of the business. We started operations in January 2015. Even with the initial financial struggle, we could record a turnover of five crore rupees in the first three months. All of us worked hard and, by next year, we jumped to Rs. 57-crore turnover. This year we are touching Rs. 120 crores. Within the first six months, we opened up 13 branches across India.”

And he vociferously offers all his gratitude to the ‘good nature’ of their colleagues who trusted them enough to leave the sinking company and join Tripath.

If initially, their team strength was 75, today Tripath is 200-employees strong.

Mr. R. Abbas Khan, Director - Corporate Planning, adds: “Our customers, both domestic and overseas ones, supported us in our highs and lows. In fact, what was heartwarming for us was that a few customers vied for being the first customer of Tripath.”
