Inception Story
Most of the business success stories starts with pain points. Though Shipclues started its operations in early 2022, however, the inception of Shipclues took place on a rainy afternoon, in September 2021, when three friends met to discuss life and work. “A casual conversation about how e-Commerce industry is booming in India, what future withholds for Indian startups and what are the challenges faced by e-Commerce business owners with delivery partners, a series of such brainstorming sessions followed up over next few quarters until the time myself, and my dear friends, now business partners as, Kaushal Sharma & Lalit Manuja, realized we were too far into the idea of being a shipping aggregator than just being talking about it”, says Sanjay Arora.

However, it was in Feb 2022, that took up Shipclues as a business venture and after a thorough business analysis, within three months, the founders were ready with the beta version software and that's when we

began to reach out to budding e-Commerce Sellers. “Taking note of an excellent response from the market, we started onboarding customers and generated revenue in June 2022. While there were some hickups at the beginning of the rising expectations of our customers, it only motivated us to invest in customer service and software tools. We never looked back and kept on improving our technology and setting up all the processes of operations and sales, especially the back-end support team. Achieving month-on month, quarter-on-quarter revenue growth is surely a success but most importantly we gained trust from our customers and our churn rate is much lower than the industry standard of nearly 18 percent for the Shipping Aggregator industry. In a short time, we are now recognized as the fastest growing Shipping Aggregator in India”, briefs Sanjay Arora.
