Skilling Becomes the New Backbone of India’s Logistics Boom

India’s logistics sector is not just scaling up in terms of infrastructure but undergoing a transformative shift through skilling. Demand for efficient supply chains explodes, industry is entering a high-growth decade and according to the Union National Logistics Policy, PM GatiShakti is reshaping how goods move across the country. But infrastructure alone cannot power this growth. The real backbone is a workforce capable of operating modern, technology-led logistics systems.

A major shift underway is the establishment of advanced Centres of Logistics Training Excellence across India. The new skilling centres and apprenticeships reflect this change: equipped with simulation labs for truck driving, warehouse operations, and forklift handling, along with AR/VR tools and digital learning facilities that mirror real-world logistics environments. The training modules cover everything from EXIM processes and warehouse management to supply chain coordination, preparing youth for emerging roles in a formalised, technology-driven logistics ecosystem. The sector currently employs 22 million people and is expected to create 10 million more jobs by 2027.

For companies like Airattix, this shift signals a defining moment. As‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ logistics is becoming more connected, digital, and skill-intensive, the requirement for agile, technology-enabled partners is increasing. Airattix is the only company that can move in tandem with this future by using digital platforms, data-driven systems, and industry-ready collaborations to facilitate businesses in the new logistics sector. The company is convinced that the next ten years of logistics growth will be the players who will combine infrastructure, innovation, and skilled human capital.

Quote from Mr. Aditya Kale, Founder & CEO, Airattix:

“India’s logistics transformation will be defined by how well we invest in people. Infrastructure may build the backbone, but skilled talent brings it to life. At Airattix, we believe the future belongs to companies that combine technology with trained human intelligence. As logistics becomes more automated and interconnected, the demand for skilled workers, who can operate, adapt, and innovate will shape the next decade. We are committed to partnering with this skilling movement to build a smarter and truly future-ready logistics ecosystem.”
