The company has a broad logistics network through global partnerships. It is affiliated with logistics networks including World Cargo Alliance (WCA), Air & Ocean Partners (AOP), Connecting 5 Continents (C5C), Multi Group Logistics Network (MGLN), Global Freight Alliance (GFA), and Transport Worldwide International Group (TWIG), which collectively have over 26,300 logistics partners and exclusive agents worldwide.
The company has a diversified customer base across multiple industries. Its customers operate across pharmaceuticals, textiles and apparel, spare parts, machinery, electronics, automotive, engineering goods, food, industrial goods and other sectors. In FY26, pharmaceuticals accounted for 22.89% of revenue from operations, while textiles and apparel accounted for 13.04%.
The company has long-standing relationships with several customers. As of FY26, it had relationships extending over a decade with customers including A. Hartrodt (India), Cipla, J B Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Serum Institute of India, Torrent Pharmaceuticals and Savino Del Bene Freight Forwarding.
The company uses proprietary technology across its logistics operations. Its SLS 100X platform had 5,587 registered users as of the date of the prospectus and supports freight booking and shipment tracking. Its technology infrastructure also uses OCR, robotic process automation and machine learning for data capture and processing.
The company has direct and third-party integrations with major airlines. Its logistics platform is directly integrated with Qatar Airways for booking, pricing and tracking, while integrations with other major airlines are being carried out through a third-party service provider.
The company is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified. These certifications relate to its quality management system, environmental management system, and occupational health and safety management system, respectively. The ISO 9001:2015 certification is valid through January 2027, while the ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications are valid through April 2028.
The company claims to have performance-based agreements with major international airlines. These include Saudi Cargo, Air India Cargo, Emirates, Lufthansa and Qatar Airways, with such arrangements providing access to cargo capacity and international routes.
The company has shown consistent increases in revenue from operations from Rs 1,289.11 crore in FY24 to Rs 2,247.82 crore in FY25 and Rs 2812.90 crore in FY26. The profit after tax has also increased from Rs 34.49 crore to Rs 48.14 crore and Rs 63.52 crore during the same period.
The company is 100% dependent on third-party carriers for cargo transportation, as it does not operate its own aircraft or shipping lines. Air cargo services, ocean cargo services, and express cargo and parcel services contributed Rs 2,166.40 crore (77.02%), Rs 422.60 crore (15.02%), and Rs 162.78 crore (5.79%), respectively, to revenue from operations in FY26, collectively accounting for 97.83% of total revenue. Any inability to secure adequate cargo capacity on commercially viable terms, or any disruption in carrier services, can adversely affect the company’s business and financial condition.
The company’s air freight realisation declined from Rs 280 per kg in FY25 to Rs 258 per kg in FY26, a decline of 7.88%, while ocean freight realisation declined from Rs 180,436 per TEU to Rs 149,462 per TEU, a decline of 18.79%. Any escalation in geopolitical conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel-Hamas war, Iran-Israel conflict, Red Sea crisis, or tensions between India and Pakistan, could further disrupt global supply chains, airspace and trade routes, increase energy and transportation costs, and adversely affect the company’s business and financial condition.
The company relies on a limited number of suppliers, with its top five suppliers accounting for Rs 903.15 crore (36.01%), Rs 629.16 crore (31.20%), and Rs 435.36 crore (38.29%) of its cost of service in FY26, FY25 and FY24, respectively. Any failure to maintain relationships with these suppliers or retain them on favourable terms could adversely affect the company’s revenues, profitability, and financial condition.
The company’s revenue is heavily concentrated in Asia, which contributed Rs 2,405.15 crore (85.51%), Rs 1,867.36 crore (83.07%), and Rs 1,113.65 crore (86.39%) of total revenue in FY26, FY25, and FY24, respectively. Any adverse economic, political, or regulatory developments, increased competition, or natural disasters in the region could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The company recorded negative cash flow from operating activities of Rs 9.04 crore in FY24, primarily due to an increase in trade receivables arising from higher business volumes and increased credit extended to customers. The company also recorded negative cash flows from investing activities of Rs 179.11 crore, Rs 152.29 crore, and Rs 131.01 crore in FY26, FY25, and FY24, respectively, mainly due to investments in property, plant and equipment, acquisitions, intangible assets and deployment of funds towards bank deposits and other investments. Sustained negative cash flows or significant cash outflows could adversely impact the company’s business, financial condition, and growth plans.
The company’s trade receivables increased from Rs 318.04 crore in FY24 to Rs 455.97 crore in FY25 and Rs 579.48 crore in FY26. Any delay or failure in collecting these receivables could increase working capital requirements and interest expenses and adversely affect the company’s cash flows and financial condition.
A significant portion of the company’s cash and bank balances is pledged with lenders against borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, the company had Rs 267.26 crore of cash and bank balances pledged with lenders, compared with total cash and bank balances of Rs 396.96 crore. If the company fails to meet its financing obligations, lenders may invoke the pledged amounts, which could reduce liquidity and limit its ability to meet financial or operational requirements.
The company had contingent liabilities and commitments of Rs 289.08 crore as of March 31, 2026, equivalent to 86.90% of its net worth of Rs 332.64 crore. Any materialisation of these contingent liabilities and commitments could adversely affect the company’s financial condition, profitability, and cash flows.
Several of the company’s subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries have incurred losses, which could weigh on its consolidated financial performance. In FY26, 12 of the 18 listed subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries reported losses, with the highest losses recorded by Skart Global Express Private Limited at Rs 4.51 crore, Phantom Road Express Private Ltd at Rs 2.98 crore, and SLS Retail Supermart Private Limited at Rs 2.74 crore. Any continued or increased losses in these subsidiaries could adversely affect the company’s consolidated profitability, cash flows, and ability to fund other growth opportunities.
The company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in ongoing direct and indirect tax proceedings. These disputed tax demands exceed the materiality thresholds based on the company’s Restated Consolidated Financial Statements. Any adverse outcome in these proceedings could materially affect the company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
As of June 30, 2026, the company had total outstanding borrowings of Rs 504.65 crore. Any failure to service or repay these borrowings could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition, and cash flows.
