DTDC (Desk to Desk Courier & Cargo) was founded in 1990 by Subhasish Chakraborty in Bangalore, Karnataka. It was the first private courier company in India to introduce the franchise model β a decision that allowed the company to rapidly expand across every corner of the country without building company-owned offices everywhere.
Today, DTDC operates through a network of over 12,000 franchise partners covering 14,300+ pin codes across India. The company handles over 170 million parcels annually, with 75% of its customer base comprising e-commerce businesses. DTDC has a strategic partnership with GeoPost (a subsidiary of La Poste, France’s national postal service), giving it access to delivery networks across Europe and beyond.
