“Through this collaboration, we continue to showcase innovators from across the country at the Startup Pavilion in LogiMAT India 2025, providing them with a valuable platform to connect with the fast-evolving Indian logistics and supply chain market.” Aditya Gupta, Interim CEO, Messe Stuttgart India
The logistics market in India is poised for significant growth, with a projected revenue of US$ 357.3 billion by 2030. Despite this huge potential, a recent McKinsey & Company report highlights the decline in logistics funding following the pandemic that remains a significant concern. After receiving unprecedented funding of US$25.6 billion in 2021, venture capital investment in logistics startups fell sharply to US$2.9 billion in 2023—a nearly 90% decrease, marking the lowest since 2015. This pullback from investors is attributed to several factors, including high interest rates, a global slowdown in the shipping industry, and an oversupply among cargo carriers driving down freight rates. In its endeavour to boost funding and instill investor’s trust, one of the world’s leading trade fairs and exhibitions companies, Messe Stuttgart India has partnered with Startup India to provide a launchpad for logistics startups through LogiMAT India 2025.
This strategic partnership at LogiMAT India 2025 aims to empower Indian industries and startups, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure alignment with evolving global standards. This also aligns with the government vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and aims to secure a position among the top 25 countries in the Logistics Performance Index, which includes 139 nations, by 2030. The PM Gati Shakti initiative and National Logistics Policy embodies a revolutionary strategy for the sector in India, focused on establishing a cohesive and efficient multimodal transport system.
Aditya Gupta, Interim CEO, Messe Stuttgart India said, “As the nation is undergoing economic advancement, the logistics industry stands out as a key driver of India’s growth trajectory. With dedicated government initiatives, schemes, robust demand, increasing manufacturing activities, and sustained investments, the future of our logistics sector looks promising. To further drive growth, strengthen the sector and build on LogiMAT India’s last year’s success, we are proud to continue our partnership with Startup India. Through this collaboration, we continue to showcase innovators from across the country at the Startup Pavilion in LogiMAT India 2025, providing them with a valuable platform to connect with the fast-evolving Indian logistics and supply chain market.”
