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.

The Teamglobal Edge – (The Teamglobal Advantage: USPs That Stand Out)

  • Market Leadership in LCL: Recognized as India’s leading LCL consolidator with ten consecutive “Best Consolidator – All India” awards since 2010

  • CFS Network and Green Infrastructure: Operates IGBC-certified facilities, including the ICTPL CFS in Mumbai, and other centers in Hyderabad and Chennai.

  • Compliance and Certifications: Holds multiple ISO certifications and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) accreditation.

  • Process Excellence Centre: Centralized hub ensures standardization and integration across operations.

  • ESG Framework: ESG policy and CSR initiatives through the Saksham Sarthi trust reflect the organization’s ethical governance.

  • Global Network Affiliations: Strategic alliances with global logistics groups to enable seamless international operations.

Human Capital Development: Emphasis on training, talent retention, and leadership development to support organizational scalability.

Talent management has been an important aspect of Teamglobal’s operational model. By developing its workforce, the company maintains staff capable of meeting complex logistics demands. This employee-focused approach supports its aim to provide regular, dependable, and clear logistics services.

Founders’ Contributions: Engineering Growth & Culture

  • Vivek Kele: A key driver behind the Process implementation through strong digital platforms highlighting a digital-first strategy benefiting the network of partners and customers 

  • Nityam Khosla: Instrumental in establishing India’s first green CFS near port of JNPT and expanding the CFS footprint via acquisitions with strong focus on business development 

Together, their work in ethics and governance was recognized with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award, acknowledging compliance with laws, environmental regulations, and supply-chain standards.

Philosophy & Impact

Teamglobal’s focus on governance and ethics is reflected in its ongoing client relationships and operational continuity, including during global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The company’s response during this period—marked by international cargo movement—demonstrated operational capability and attention to customer commitments.

Looking Ahead: A Purpose-Driven Conclusion

Teamglobal Logistics continues to be guided by its original vision: to provide practical, consistent, and accountable logistics solutions that adapt to the changing needs of its customers. Looking ahead, both Mr. Kele and Mr. Khosla share a common view on the future of logistics. They believe that technology and people will be key factors shaping the next phase of the industry. Furthermore, the strategy of steady growth, sustainability, regulatory compliance, and flexibility will define leadership in this evolving environment.

Teamglobal Logistics invites customers, talent, and partners to join a company that not only moves cargo but also advances with purpose, aiming to build a future where logistics is associated with dependability and responsibility.
