Vahak, which claims to be India's most trusted transportation community, has rapidly expanded its platform user base in Punjab since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Bengaluru-based Vahak is India's largest open and free transportation platform powered by artificial intelligence. This digital community enables direct connections between all logistics players and fosters India's largest ecosystem of small and medium transport companies and truck owners.

Karan Shaha, chief executive and co-founder of Vahak, said of the growth since the pandemic: “Using the Vahak app, Punjab truckers were able to function even during the pandemic, making critical supplies available. Now they are witnessing up to 25-26 days of inter- and intrastate runs compared to 15-17 days previously. This has resulted in consistent growth in our user base over the past year, with loads increasing by 100% and truck counting by more than 40%. We see the greatest demand coming for containers, trucks and light commercial vehicles.”

Vahak enables truck and cargo bookings at 0% commission and is India's first B2B transportation community platform that helps instantly match loads with the right industry requirements for trucks, containers, light commercial vehicles and other specialized vehicles. Safe and secure escrow payments and GST, Aadhaar authenticated users on the platform attract Punjab logistics players to use Vahak app, especially for transporting cargoes of fast moving consumer goods, steel, chemical, packaging and related industries.
