There is an increase in the logistic industry jobs. Earlier days if you want to have a taxi you should know a traveller and you should catch hold that fellow and he will arrange the vehicle at his most possible earliest convenience that may not suit you. But now you book a taxi on your mobile either with Uber or Ola next 5 minutes the taxi will be before your gate. Many people are looking for jobs in this field as the salary structures are good and promotional chances are very high. Here the advantage is companies want to promote their low-level employees to the next level by giving a proper training rather than employing from outside. It will have a positive impact on the employee. In this field, jobs are available for all levels of education.

The logistic sector has gained a lot of importance and evolved as a big service area. Planning for movement of goods from one place to another and it's actual movement by selecting an appropriate form of transport is the main job in logistics.
There are various job opportunities in this sector. Simple managers at office and field levels to manage the planning and supervision part of these works or computer professionals to monitor things online with sophisticated applications or staff to do packing and other preparation of material before shipping it to the destination.
The logistics sector is a combination of various jobs by different persons at different levels. For example, damage of material in transit will be examined by the material inspectors who are capable of assessing the damage properly.
There are many big companies where one can try to get a job by applying against their advertisements.
Some of these good companies are DHL, All Cargo, GATI, TNT express, DTDC etc.
Keep a watch in job portals and newspapers for their vacancies.

Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

Logistics is a stressful job but yes it is having the best time nowadays. There is increasing demand for transportation these days. Not only the public transport but also consumer goods. Many startup companies are willing to have their own logistics rather than depending on a third party company. For example, if you are selling goods online, you like to have your own logistics. But there is increasing demand in tie up logistics as well. This is the area where logistic companies can be very handy. You can start your logistic company if you have enough capital.

Plenty of ECommerce platforms also require logistics such as Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, Food Panda etc. You can either tie up with such companies for delivering goods. If you are interested in public transport then there are plenty of options available. You can buy a car and tie up with OLA or Uber cab system. You can also approach MNC's where they provide pick up and drop facility to their employees. You can put your vehicle in their company as wel.

Plenty of scoope and returns if you plan properly.
Good Luck.

Thank You

Logistics- business has gained tremendous popularity now a days since there are plenty of youths interested to join in this line. So far this line is concerned, there is a lot of stress initially in respect of putting their jobs and the new environment which might drain their energies considerably. But keeping in mind of the promotional prospects and the perks attached to this industry, they find their involvement with this industry quite interesting and stimulating.
In the earlier days, to hire a taxi or cab was a time - consuming process in the sense the customers had to rush one spot or the other for better bargaining in respect to rates. But with the emergence of Ola, Uber one can book the convenient transport within a couple of minutes with the mobile. Payment - option is also suiting the customers where they can make payments without any cumbersome process. Since, the nature of the job is very competitive in this sector, rates too become quite affordable. In absence of suitable employment in other sectors, youths from different income - groups would like to join the logistics services.
Amazon, Flipcart, Food - panda are the other components which have shown spiralling growth now a days because of immense demand of the products for such commodities and here a chain of people exists offering their expertise in a very competitive price.
With the progress of time, there has been a remarkable growth in the logistics business.
