The company is targeting to onboard 100K truckers and a revenue growth 3X YoY by 2021 end. Its revenue grew 2x in 2020 vis-a-vis that of 2019, and is pegged to grow 2x in 2021 from the current number.

Prasad Sreeram, CEO and Founder of COGOS Technologies, said they, like all other companies, had to go through COVID turbulence. “However, we bounced back swiftly and have not only reached the pre-COVID levels, but instead doubled the business in 2020,” he shared. “All through the first quarter of FY2020, the volumes were down to 20 per cent across the segments with few of the segments at zero, the second quarter the volumes started to pick and we crossed the pre-COVID levels by the third quarter.”

Sreeram believes 2021 will be the year of digital evolution in logistics as the consumers and enterprises will be looking at tech for innovative solutions for reliability and profitability. “We have seen an increase in online adaption and options available for consumers from Milk to Automotive. The curtain between brick & mortar and e-commerce have faded and this, has hinted on an urgent need to build or adopt online delivery solutions,” he observed. “Tech platforms like COGOS are positioned to bring resource optimization, remote management, and elasticity to the industry.”
