subject: Courier Services In India [print this page] The two main industries that help in bridging the gap between people situated miles apart are the telecommunication services and the courier services. These services that operate in India as well as across the domestic boundaries have been aiding us in keeping a touch with our friends, relatives, customers and business partners who may be so far that cannot be reached personally. Telecommunication services help in transfer of virtual information while courier services help in physical movement of items between two parties.
Indian courier industry has been prevailing since almost two decades and evolved dramatically over time in terms of its reach and technology. Initially limiting to only the metro cities if India, it has now spread its network in many rural areas as well as many international destinations. Any courier company can work on just one quality aspect, that is, safe courier delivery on time.
Indian services sector for courier companies is experiencing massive expansion and cut-throat competition among the industry rivals. These companies are either diversifications of some huge Multinational companies or are stand alone big corporate houses with expertise in this area. Whatever be the case, the courier companies are trying their level best for emerging as the leader of the industry. For achieving this goal, the companies have further strategically expanded and formed associations with transporters, air carriers as well as shipping companies.
Many courier companies work in association with these connections for delivering the couriers on time ensuring safety of the item being transported. Creativity and out of box thinking is the backbone for this industry. Expanding into specialization of various couriers services for specific industrial goods is the new league that many Indian courier companies are following to remain in the competition. This was a road less taken earlier, but now, courier companies are racing on it.
Indian courier companies are offering a plethora of options for convenience to its customers such as online booking through the internet, online payment options, free business accounts as well as international courier services at competitive rates.
India has many occasions of religious and cultural importance. The forthcoming festival of rakshabandhan can be a perfect example here. Many people in India have moved away from there home for their jobs or studies. Indian courier services are helping the people in sending their Rakshabandhan gifts to their sisters and sisters sending rakhis to their brothers who may not be able to meet on the occasion.
