According to Redseer Strategy Consultants, the 2023 festive season sale has gotten off to a strong start, with a year-on-year (YoY) growth of approximately 16%. India’s online sales during festive months in 2023 are estimated to be worth about ₹90,000 crore, 18-20% higher than last year, according to Redseer Strategy Consultants.

Mr. Shailesh Kumar, Founder of CABT Logistics, shared his insights, “We are preparing not just for the festive season but for long-term partner growth. We are investing in automation, increasing warehouse capacity, and introducing electric vehicles (EVs) in our fleet. These steps are essential to accommodate the seasonal surge and cater to the ongoing partner growth that follows. We are ready for the peak sales volume of our major clients like Flipkart, Meesho, and Amazon! I recently visited our ground warriors to ensure full support and had an interaction with the clients to extend maximum support from our side. This festive season, we have created seasonal job opportunities for more than 5000+ associates in our CABT Logistics operations network. Together with these 20,000 new riders, we look forward to delivering the fastest, safest, and most joyous festive season for our customers across India.”
