The logistics sector plays a crucial role in India's economy, contributing approximately 14% to the nation's GDP. and as the Indian logistics market is projected to grow to $484 billion by 2029, AI's integration into logistics is poised to redefine industry standards, making supply chains more agile, transparent, and resilient. Looking ahead, the use of AI in logistics is expected to continue evolving, with advancements in autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics, and real-time tracking systems. By effective use of AI, companies have addressed common supply chain bottlenecks and revolutionized first-, mid-, and last-mile delivery while optimizing inventory management and transparency.

Now is the time that industry must focus on developing its distribution systems, prioritizing timely delivery, effective packaging, and logistics capacity. AI leverages vast datasets—including historical delivery patterns, consumer behavior, social media signals, local events, and weather forecasts—to predict where and when delivery demand will surge. This foresight allows companies to preposition vehicles, personnel, and inventory ahead of demand spikes, reducing response times and operating costs, and also contributing to sustainability efforts by reducing carbon footprints.
