Scan Global Logistics Expands Operations in India: 5 Powerful Reasons Behind This Major Move in Global Logistics

Scan Global Logistics Expands Operations into India: A New Chapter in Global Logistics

Scan Global Logistics (SGL) is one of the largest providers of logistics services and just recently expanded into India. This goes to show Scan Global Logistics’ significance and the value in international shipping and supply chain management. This is also an incredible step towards a direct presence in one of the world’s rapidly growing economies.

SGL has long recognized the value the Indian economy presents and the company has based its expansion strategies based on the opportunity the Indian economy has to offer. SGL’s global expansion comes at a pivotal time when the Indian economy and its.trade and logistics infrastructure is well established, and India is becoming a global focal point for trade logistics. SGL’s expansion to India will allow SGL to cater to a broader spectrum of clientele around the world from India’s robust economy.

A Strategic Decision in Global Logistics

Allan Melgaard, Global CEO of Scan Global Logistics speaks of the company’s expansion, “Establishing a presence in India has always been a high priority for SGL. The rapid growth of the economy, along with its geopolitical position in world trade, makes India a market for us.”

Clearly, the company’s expansion speaks to a broader global logistics trend, with companies positioning themselves to increase operational capacity in India. With an annual GDP growth of 6-7% and predictions of India becoming the second-largest economy in the world by 2075, the timing is perfect for logistics providers to tap into this rapidly growing market.

SGL will begin operations in India in phases, starting with Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai, with Mumbai as the head office. Plans for expansion to other cities will follow in the months, which show SGL’s commitment to become a key player in the region. This also reflects the significant position India holds within the global logistics framework.

India’s Position in World Logistics: A Rising Power

India’s economic growth makes it one of the most exciting in the world in terms of global logistics. As the 5th largest economy in the world, the demand for reliable and efficient logistics services in India is unprecedented. Not only does the country have a large domestic market, but its geographical position is a large part of international trade. Expansion of demand for goods and services made advanced global logistics solutions necessary. This is due to a growing middle class, increased foreign investment and rapid urbanization.

Being able to create a local team stationed in India allows Worldwide supply chain providers such as SGL to open up many new opportunities. SGL combines years of global logistics experience with valuable local Indian market insight. Indian businesses are operating more and more internationally (global), and businesses that are multinational and located in India need effective and flexible supply chain solutions. SGL understands these unique needs and is in the right position to help.

As Allan Melgaard articulated, “The potential for growth in India is enormous. By establishing a local presence, we will now be able to serve both multinationals that operate in India and Indian businesses that want to expand overseas. This is a great opportunity for SGL to be able to grow with India’s ever-changing economy.”

The Vision for the Future of Global Logistics in India

Scan Global Logistics’s entry into India is more than a simple expansion of operations. It is also to inspire change in how global logistics services operate in the country. Vikash Agarwal, the new CEO of SGL India, will be in charge of building the company’s operations in India. He has a long track record of service and leadership in the industry, and was the Managing Director for South Asia at A.P. Moller – Maersk where he was responsible for India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Maldives, and nested operation countries.

Agarwal is eyeing the opportunities to build a great team and an organization from the base. “India is an exciting market and speed, flexibility and relationship of trust is the game,” he conveyed. “We are building an agile organization to make quick decisions and provide bespoke solutions to match our customers’ evolving expectations.” This approach to the demand of logistics looking to the future will certainly take care of the growing global logistics demand in India.

Allan Melgaard, in his statement, too emphasized the value of a great team to drive the success of the company in India. “I recognize that it has taken a little longer than expected to set up in India, but in the end orchestrating the right team was critical,” he stated. “We needed to find people who shared our purpose and vision for customer service and entrepreneurship.” Now that we have the right team, Melgaard stated, “We are confident of our decision.”

Why Global Logistics Providers are Focusing on India

The trends in the global logistics sector are beginning to influence the trends in South Asia’s logistics sector, in particular, India. As a major hub of manufacturing, India is an important market driver in automotive, textiles, and, most importantly, technology. As a result, there is a substantial need for inbound and outbound logistics management. In addition, the rise of ecommerce and the growth of government and private sector investment in logistics infrastructure, such as logistics parks, ports, and highways, have moved the needle on the overall growth of the logistics sector.

India plays an important role internationally in the distribution of both manufactured and agricultural goods, and this is a growing trend. This makes India a critical market for international logistics companies.

India’s substantial investment in infrastructure and trade facilitation measures has created a more conducive business environment for logistics operators. With operations in India’s commercial and logistic hubs of Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, Scan Global Logistics is strategically positioned within a highly developed logistics network that serves international and burgeoning domestic Indian markets.

Future Growth Potential in the Global Logistics Sector

When looking at the long-term prospects for global logistics growth, it’s clear that the country is looking to expand its operations in India. India is in a unique position, and its growing trade infrastructure is a positive indicator. While the country is also considerably investing in its consumer base, the outline and focus on infrastructure will look to bridge the gap for potential investors.

It is no coincidence the Scan Global Logistics is expanding its reach into India, a country having the previously stated attributes. Global Logistics is adapting to tailored and agile solutions for the needs in a changing consumer marketplace.

As Scan Global Logistics expands its reach into India and with the support of strong leadership and clear strategic objectives, it’s impossible to question the prospects for SGL. SGL is poised to shape the global logistics future by improving the development potential of India and the other countries that surround it.

Scan Global Logistics’ expansion into India is one of the many steps the company is taking to increase its global reach in logistics. With an innovative and customer-friendly approach to logistics solutions and India’s dynamic market, SGL is all geared up to expand into one of the most rapidly developing economies in the world. With SGL’s presence in India, SGL will provide global logistics services to increasingly support India’s development as an international trade center. As India continues to grow and become essential globally and logistically, SGL’s expansion into India will further support the country’s development as a modern global trade hub.
