Shiprocket has appointed industry veteran Sunil Kumar as its CTO. Sunil has come onboard with nearly two decades of in-depth industry experience and has previously been associated with Rediff.com, Reliance Entertainment, Times Business Solutions, EazyDiner, and ApnaPaisa alongside others.

Shiprocket provides seamless shipping solutions to big and small enterprises in India. Its geographical reach stretches to over 26,000 PIN codes in India and more than 220 countries across the globe. The company today enables big and small enterprises to deliver shipments at lucrative rates starting from Rs. 27/500g and Rs. 110/50g for domestic and international orders respectively. Its tech-driven approach has enabled businesses to deliver shipments via courier partners with greater precision and cost-effectiveness.

At Shiprocket, Sunil will be spearheading infrastructure enhancements, optimizations, and infusion of novel technology to support Shiprocket’s market needs. He will also maintain and enhance the technology platform in accordance with business priorities while ensuring that performance metrics are in perfect order. Moreover, he will develop and control the operating and capital budgets for the company’s end-to-end technology functions.

Mr  Saahil Goel, CEO & Co-Founder, Shiprocket said, “Today, Shiprocket is at a crucial juncture of its market journey. We are receiving a phenomenal response to our services and are expanding our business footprint rapidly. Since technology is at the core of everything we do, our obligation to our customers is to leave no stone unturned in this realm. This by itself explains the importance of Sunil as he will now be driving tech initiatives at Shiprocket. We are confident that Sunil, with his proven track record, will deliver the desired results by building robust tech infrastructure for Shiprocket.”

Sunil Kumar, CTO, Shiprocket said, “I personally believe that tech solutions must work in a Predictive and Responsive fashion for their users. This makes the alignment of business goals with it imperative. My assessment of the paradigm has brought three main points into focus. Firstly, alternatives will make the operations of the shipper more smooth and cost-effective. Secondly, passing on the relevant information to end-customers to interact with individual stakeholders. Thirdly, the extension of cutting-edge tools for across-the-board functions at Shiprocket. We will be working in tandem on all three fronts. This will surely make supply chain innovations the backbone of our offering.”

Shiprocket provides predictable convenience and cost optimization to its sellers. The logistics aggregator has grown 3X every year since its inception back in 2016 as customers show increased confidence in the services provided. The platform is now poised to make inroads in Direct to Consumer (DTC) shipping.
