Company Overview & Others
Shadowfax Technologies is a technology-led third-party logistics (3PL) company in India focused on enabling e-commerce and quick-commerce deliveries. It operates a large, asset-light network powered by a proprietary tech platform, supporting services like last-mile delivery, reverse logistics, hyperlocal delivery, and express parcel movement for major digital commerce platforms.
The company’s core strength lies in its crowdsourced delivery model and wide pin-code coverage, which allows it to scale rapidly without owning heavy physical assets like fleets or warehouses.
