The year 2005 marked a period of transition in India’s logistics sector, characterized by operational inefficiencies, fragmentation, and the growing need for integrated solutions. In this environment, two entrepreneurs, Mr. Vivek Kele and Mr. Nityam Khosla, founded Teamglobal Logistics Private Limited, aiming to introduce technology-based, principled, and customer-focused practices into the industry. The company's trajectory reflects a focus on steady growth, with a tenfold expansion over less than two decades.
Teamglobal employs approximately 1,900 personnel, with 17 offices in India and two in Bangladesh, along with business partnerships in East Africa. It operates seven Container Freight Stations (CFSs) in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mundra, and Visakhapatnam. Its services reach 180 countries and over 1,500 ports, focusing on freight forwarding and CFS operations. The company’s activities include Less-than-Container Load (LCL) and Full-Container Load (FCL) sea consolidation, air freight, project cargo, coastal shipping, and terminal handling services.
Teamglobal is certified under multiple international standards (ISO 9001, 27001, 14001, 45001, and 13485), and operates under an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework through the Saksham Sarthi trust. These initiatives indicate its focus on accountable and regulated logistics operations.
The Journey So Far
Teamglobal began its operations in 2005 with a focus on LCL consolidation, addressing specific gaps in the logistics market through digitally supported processes. Over time, the company increased its presence and service offerings, developing into a global logistics provider. Its repeated recognition—receiving the “Best Consolidator – All India” award ten times since 2010—reflects its role in LCL services. The company was also recently conferred the Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Fair Business Practices, noting its adherence to ethical and transparent business conduct.
The organization’s global reach has been supported by partnerships with international logistics networks such as the World Wide Alliance and the Air Cargo Group. These collaborations have contributed to Teamglobal’s presence in international markets. The firm has shifted from a transaction-focused model to a longer-term, partnership-based approach, providing supply chain services across land, air, and sea.
