Messe Stuttgart, Startup India Tie-Up to Boost Funding

The logistics market in India is poised for significant growth, with a projected revenue of $357.3 billion by 2030. Despite this huge potential, a recent McKinsey & Company report highlights the decline in logistics funding following the pandemic that remains a significant concern. After receiving unprecedented funding of $25.6 billion in 2021, venture capital investment in logistics startups fell sharply to $2.9 billion in 2023—a nearly 90 per cent decrease, marking the lowest since 2015. This pullback from investors is attributed to several factors, including high interest rates, a global slowdown in the shipping industry, and an oversupply among cargo carriers driving down freight rates. In its endeavour to boost funding and instil investor’s trust, one of the world’s leading Trade Fairs and Exhibitions Companies, Messe Stuttgart India has partnered with Startup India to provide a launchpad for logistics startups through LogiMAT India 2025.

This strategic partnership at LogiMAT India 2025 aims to empower Indian industries and startups, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure alignment with evolving global standards. This also aligns with the government vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and aims to secure a position among the top 25 countries in the Logistics Performance Index, which includes 139 nations, by 2030. The PM Gati Shakti initiative and National Logistics Policy embodies a revolutionary strategy for the sector in India, focused on establishing a cohesive and efficient multimodal transport system.

Aditya Gupta, Interim CEO, Messe Stuttgart India says, "As the nation is undergoing economic advancement, the logistics industry stands out as a key driver of India's growth trajectory. With dedicated government initiatives, schemes, robust demand, increasing manufacturing activities, and sustained investments, the future of our logistics sector looks promising. To further drive growth, strengthen the sector and build on LogiMAT India’s last year’s success, we are proud to continue our partnership with Startup India. Through this collaboration, we continue to showcase innovators from across the country at the Startup Pavilion in LogiMAT India 2025, providing them with a valuable platform to connect with the fast-evolving Indian logistics and supply chain market.”

As a satellite event of LogiMAT Stuttgart, this International Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions, Transportation & Process Management is a dynamic hub for innovation, investment, and industry expertise. With the Startup Pavilion from February 13th to 15th, 2025, LogiMAT India 2025 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai will provide an excellent platform for startups looking to establish themselves in the logistics sector.
