DTDC to touch 10 K mark by 2016

Courier and cargo brand, DTDC is eyeing major franchise expansion with plans to open 10,000 outlets by 2016. The brand presently has a total of 7500 stores across India and is targeting tier II and III cities for expansion.

On his business plan, Chairman of DTDC, Subhasish Chakraborty says, “We offer a lucrative platform for success to aspiring entrepreneurs. Presently, many of our Channel Partners play the role of advisors to management as a part of our national and regional franchisee advisory boards. Many more have assumed the roles of Super Franchisees and Master Franchisees for their respective areas. We strongly believe that having this vast network of 7000+ Channel Partners ensures that we are not just the only private express services provider available within a two km radius of our customer’s office or home in the city, but it also helps us connect with our customers across every nook and corner, districts and tehsils of India.”

The franchise-based model has become the blueprint of DTDC’s success, and the company continues to replicate it internationally. It has facilitated the creation of the organisation’s formidable reach in India, as well as cultivated entrepreneurship opportunities for its partners. The brand continues to grow strong with its varied ventures including DTDC Supply Chain Solutions, DTDC E-Commerce Logistics Ltd, DTDC International Express Domestic, Parcels, International Freight Forwarding and DTDC Retail Ltd.
