About DTDC
DTDC is a leading Indian courier company headquartered in Bangalore. It was established in the year 1990 as ‘DTDC Courier & Cargo Ltd.’ and changed to DTDC Express Limited in 2015 after entering into a strategic partnership with the French parcel delivery service - DPD Group.
DTDC stands for Desk to Desk Courier & Cargo. It started out as a domestic courier company and began expanding its operations overseas by entering the US, UK and the Emirate of Dubai in 2000.
After almost 20 years of operation, the company began diversifying into supply chain management, retail stores and more. Today the company is one of the most popular carriers in the country and employs more than 35000 personnel.

It also provides businesses with an international reach of 240 countries and territories around the world. Through its massive network of physical stores, offices, and delivery partners, it handles more than 12 million domestic and international shipments every month.
DTDC clocked over INR 1,000 crore in revenues and INR 28 crore in profits in FY20. In 2012, it acquired a majority stake in the UAE-based Eurostar Express followed by the acquisition of Bangalore-based Nikkos Logistics in 2013.

However, since its expansion into the eCommerce logistics space, it has created a niche for itself in the market. Its offerings for eCommerce businesses include cross-border logistics management, multi-vendor management, warehousing and e-Fulfillment as well as last-mile delivery. It also offers Cash-on-Delivery solutions for online sellers along with multi-location pickup and reverse logistics.
Businesses can also leverage their packaging solutions to ensure that their products reach their customers safely. Apart from the above, DTDC offers supply chain management solutions and international freight services as well.
DTDC has been a household name when it comes to courier services in India and has grown to become a reputable international courier service provider. It started out as a small carrier but has now expanded globally, clocking multi-million dollar revenues and shipping millions of packages every month to thousands of domestic and international destinations.
DTDC’s venture into eCommerce has brought it to the forefront of the logistics industry. Its use of technology to allow users to manage orders, track shipments and more have made it an ideal carrier for online sellers. ClickPost has courier API integration and tracking with DTDC and thereby allows eCommerce companies to go live with DTDC in a single day.
