India's $5 trillion-economy plans looks good on paper but it needs to address gaps. India Leadership Conclave is of the opinion that India needs foreign direct investment (FDI) urgently, and lots of it. Since FDI, unlike portfolio investment, is long-term patient capital, entrepreneurs and bankers like to examine proposals very carefully. India’s record on the dispute resolution front has also proved to be extremely worrying. That is why most investors prefer to insert a clause allowing for international arbitration from a seat outside of India.

India's logistics industry has been
u n d e r g o i n g a n u n p r e c e d e n t e d
transformation and is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 16 on average, to touch $307
billionby the year 2020. Most of this growth is
being powered by the introduction of new
technologies to address the increased
demands from manufacturers, shippers and
customers. The problems faced in logistics
are very quickly becoming technology
problems.
Embracing technology for efficiency
India’s logistics sector is one of the most
fragmented in the world. Private fleet owners
with a fleet of 1-3 vehicles make up almost
80% of the market. There is a heavy reliance
on 3rd party entities (brokers) to arrange
shipments, which result in a large portion of
the money changing hands going to an
intermediary with no active role in the actual
logistics cycle.
Despite this and other problems the World
Bank's 2016 Logistics Performance Index
shows that India jumped to the 35th rank,up
from 54in 2014. The Global Rankings are
used to measure the overall logistics
performance of a country.
The industry is showing considerable growth
as companiesembrace new technologies to
s t r e a m l i n e t h e i r b u s i n e s s
processes.However, there is a fundamental
problem that is yet to be addressed.
Backbone of the logistics industry
As per data published by the All India
Transporter’s Welfare Association (AITWA),
current driver to truck ratios indicate that
there are only 750 drivers to every 1000
vehicles. As early back as 1982 it was 1300
drivers to every 1000 vehicles. This means
that one out of every four trucks are
unmanned at any given point of time. Factors
like poor roads, significant time away from
family, bad health, erratic lifestyle,
harassment by the police and lack of respect
in the industry to name a few are forcing
drivers to leave their jobs. Despiteknowing
these hardships, companies pay their drivers
poorly and have long lead times to release
the vehicles.Not surprisingly the new
generation, yet to take up the mantle, are
discouraged from going into the field by their
precursors.
“Understanding the specific problems of the
industry and the stake holders is crucial to
the growth of the logistics sector. Solutions
that address only a single stake holder tend
to fail long-term due to the complex nature of
relationships between stake holders.”
-Suresh Sachdev, CEO,Autoplant
Addressing the driver’s issues is paramount,
as it will lead to better standards of living
which in turn leads to more people joining the
field. The by-products of this move will be the
standardizing of driver behaviour and an
immediate increasing in the impact of
technology.
Recent changes to the industry
The Indian GST has provided some of the
much-needed reform that the logistics sector
has been yearning for.

As per official statements there has been a 20% reduction
in the turnaround time of trucks across all verticals. Due to
the nature of the GST implementation border checkposts
are no longer required and have been removed. This has
led to greater uptimes for trucks, less idle hours and faster
turnarounds for the drivers.On the shippers end the GST
encourages a more robust and optimal ‘hub and spoke’
model for warehousing.
Some of the major breakthroughs that are driving this
change include the use of Artificial Intelligence,
companywide IoT implementations, and automation
where possible.

Autoplant – Putting the Driver first
“While solving the problems of TAT reduction it emerged
that the driver’s performance was the base metric that
determined how long a shipment takes to be delivered.
We realized that to maximize the impact of our solutions
we needed to bring the driver into the ecosystem as a
stake holder and not just a resource.”
-Suresh Sachdev, CEO,Autoplant
Consider a multi-day shipment. The vehicle needs to be
loaded at a source, drive over the course of multiple days
and deliver the material within a promised time.
To achieve this the driver needs to be healthy, motivated
and invested. In the current ecosystem, the drivers needs
are given the least importance. Loading and unloading of
material is delayed leading to unnecessary waiting.
Additionally, in most cases drivers in the premises are not
allowed breaks, waiting in their vehicles for over 10 hours.
Inefficient planning leads to unrealistic timelines, that the
driver needs to meet by taking routes that may put him in
danger. Lack of sleep makes him inattentive and sloppy.
Autoplants solutions aim to address these factors and
more while solving the problem of reducing the Shipment
TAT.
Efficient Yard management will reduce the unnecessary
waiting to zero. Properly planned shipments along
properly planned routes give the driver ample windows to
rest and be alert. Enroute safety instructions allow the
driver to plan their actions in advance leading to higher
safety standards. Quick proof of delivery and payments
cycles mean that the vehicle is ready to move onto the
next shipment faster, thereby increasing asset utilization
and reducing Shipment TAT. This increased utilization
and planning leads the driver to have a better quality of life
while getting paid more, incentivizing him to remain
motivated and invested in each shipment.
Shippers will see the effect of improved driver livelihoods
as an increase in the number of on time deliveries and a
reduction in difficulty of getting vehicles. Drivers and
Shippers will be equally motivated to meet SLAs. They
have effectively become partners, rather than employee
and employer.The driver is committed to meeting the
timeline and the shipper is committed to the drivers
wellbeing.
“The best solution is always one in which everybody
wins.”
