Meet the CEO of Trukkin

Janardan Dalmia, popularly known as JD, has always had a penchant for solving complex problems with innovative solutions. An investment banker who has spent more than a decade in both developed and emerging markets, JD facilitated over $75 billion in M&A and financing assignments for clients globally. 

In Dubai, JD realized that the transportation industry in the Middle East was still waiting for their Industry 4.0 moment, when a technology-driven logistics startup would step in to revolutionize the way transporters and shippers do business.

Bit by the entrepreneurial bug in 2017, JD founded Trukkin—a technology-driven enablement platform that is revolutionizing the fragmented transportation industry in the Middle East and Pakistan.

The Problem Faced by Logistics and Transportation Services Worldwide

The logistics industry worldwide is mainly fragmented and run by small and mid-sized operators. Due to this, they often have problems trying to increase business, improve their bottom line or scale up. 

• Finding the right truck type for specialized cargo

Shippers often pay more per shipment or find their shipments damaged in transit as they cannot find the right truck size or truck type for their needs.

• Antiquated methods cause cost overruns

Transporters are plagued with archaic book-keeping and cost control methods, leading to elevated costs, missed delivery deadlines, and a lack of a steady customer base.

• Unfair practices due to low wages

Truck drivers are often not well-paid, leading them to cut corners or indulge in unfair practices to make ends meet.

• Unable to meet demand due to limited fleet size

Brokers often find themselves in a situation where they either do not get better rates or cannot meet the demands of their customers.

 

Trukkin–A Solution to this Problem

Trukkin leverages the power of AI and IoT to create a seamless, integrated, world-class platform that brings drivers, transporters, shippers and brokers together.

• The correct truck type will deliver goods safely and on time

Shippers get the right truck size and truck type for their specific needs, reducing overall costs, delays in shipment and in-transit damages.

• Transporters will earn more and reinvest for business growth

Transporters reduce their upfront costs due to reduced fuel consumption, better routes, and quickly meeting delivery deadlines, leading to better credibility.

• Brokers will get to expand their footprint and offer more than ever before

Brokers get access to a large pool of shippers, transporters, truck drivers and Trukkin’s innovative interface to ensure timely payments, more business and peace of mind.

• Reducing stress levels and improving safety of truck drivers

Truck drivers benefit from optimized routes, directions to nearest fuel stations and service depots, and timely payments. This reduces stress and improves their focus on the road while driving.

With an integrated scheduling system and payment mechanism, intelligent, IoT-driven mapping and a world-class, intuitive user interface, Trukkin is setting the standards for what a modern logistics company should be like.
