Founder of ShipEase, Pawan Kumar, expresses, “We would like to project ourselves as a tech-savvy organisation for the D2C community and offline brands, right from managing the production, inventory control, and supply chain, followed by logistics. It has been a phenomenal experience so far with IPV for putting faith in us and believing in our team and vision.”
