India is being touted as the land of opportunity for logistics service providers all over the world. India has one of the worlds largest road networks, with a total length of 3.3 million kilometers. But much of this network does not meet Western standards. For instance, a truck takes five to six days to cover the 2,061-kilometer-long route between Bangalore and Delhi. The government is indeed trying to introduce counter measures and shift freight transports from the roads to the rails.
In this scenario Gati Logistics has proved to be a pioneer in the Indian Logistics Industry.

In the past of couple of years Gati has introduced various IT solutions to support its growth and deliver customer value. A new data center in its head office in Secunderabad; implementation of workflow solution in the areas of employee information system, performance management system, leave management system, computer-based testing; and the use of business intelligence (BI) are some of the initiatives taken by the company during this period.
The network connects over 400 locations across the country. These locations were distributed using 11 major concentration points and close to 120 locations connected to these points. Gati has extensive wide area networks that connect through terrestrial links, RF links, broadband and a host of other links.At any given point of time there are thousand concurrent users working on the core applications alone. To divide the increased load and make the systems faster, all major locations have been provided with an alternate backup data link to the head office data center using RF technology, thereby increasing the availability of the locations for load balancing of network traffic and serve as an alternate in case of terrestrial link failures. The main data center is based out of the head office and is completely redundant. The company also has a tier-3 disaster recovery (DR) on a third party site at the Tidel Park in Chennai. In tier-3 DR, data is electronically transmitted to the site and it eliminates physical transportation of data and the off-site storage warehouse. In addition, Gati also has Mechantronic express distribution centers that not only use the latest technology to track, store and handle goods, but offer various value-added facilities like online warehouse management systems, inventory management and control systems, billing and collections, flexible hiring and storage facilities, and material handling equipment.

GATI Commitment
Investment Analysis
Gati is a dominant player in the surface cargo business in India with a strong distribution network and delivery capability to reach 594 of Indias 602 districts. Gati is based on the view that the market has no fully valued the margin strength of its core express business and the potential growth from its freighter and logistics segments.
Gati is currently undergoing a shift in its business mix away from its legacy surface express business (>50% of 2007 sales). We expect the higher-margin freighter and logistics businesses to grow at a CAGR of 57% and 23% over FY2008-FY2010 (which would constitute 24% of FY2010E sales compared with 17% of FY2008 sales). We estimate that the business mix changes, along with the recent network reengineering process, will enable Gati to improve EBIT margins by 200 bp over FY2008EFY2010E. The company plans to invest US$100 mn (50% of current sales) over the next two years in capacity expansion to meet growing demand. With funding already closed, we believe the company is well placed relative to its peers to gain from incremental demand in the space. The acquisition of Kausar India in December 2007 gives Gati exposure to the highgrowth/high-margin cold-chain logistics business (99 existing refrigerated trucks, FY2007 EBITDA margin of 19.3% for Kausar vs 7.6% for Gati).
Trucking solutions
Gati provides value-added, door-to-door transport, and delivery of time-definite shipments including documents, parcels, and merchandise goods to 594 districts in India.
An efficient supply chain management can thus emerge as the backbone of an organized retail chain.
Gati, with its massive expansion plans of Rs4,500mn, towards doubling its warehousing space, expansion of shipping fleet, increasing the owned trucks under operation, and upgrading its IT infrastructure, is likely to emerge as a preferred 3PL player in the coming years. The companys future growth is also likely to be supported by its recent foray in transport refrigeration.
