The company in the past few months is the on-boarding of even more international logistics providers like USPS, UPS, Fetcher, FedEx, Aramex along with a strong partnership with domestic logistics providers like Delhivery, EcomExpress, Holisol, DTDC, Bluedart and Gati. This has eased the pain-point of international clients hugely.

"Despite having a market value of USD 35 billion, there was a dearth of holistic logistics solution for e-tailers. We have seen businesses suffer due to this. With ShipKaro our aim was to bring SMEs at par with e-commerce bigwigs and also give better supply-chain services to merchants with international clients," said StoreHippo founder and CEO, Rajiv Kumar.

"ShipKaro is all about making streamlined and cost-effective delivery solution available to e-commerce merchants irrespective of the size of their business," added Kumar.
