Logistics
India's Logistics sector, valued at $215 billion, is fundamental to the movement of goods from farm to market, factory to store, and seller to consumer doorstep. The government's PM Gati Shakti Master Plan and National Logistics Policy aim to cut logistics costs from 13% of GDP to under 8%, requiring a massive infusion of skilled professionals across road, rail, air, sea, and warehouse logistics.
