The fact that e-commerce has, today, insinuated itself into so many aspects of our lives is a tribute to the efforts of those pioneers in building, from scratch, an ecosystem of ancillary services where none existed before. These ancillary operations that were built to support e-commerce have since developed into independent businesses in their own right, utilizing the scale they built on the back of the e-commerce boom to service a variety of new businesses across multiple verticals. The best example of this evolution is logistics, an industry that has advanced so far beyond the courier operations to which it owes its origins, as to be completely unrecognizable. Today, logistics companies use hand-held GPS devices, cloud computing and machine-learning algorithms to efficiently route deliveries to their final destination. Inasmuch as intra-city logistics companies have embraced and been transformed by technology, inter-state transport companies seem to have been left largely untouched by it. Indian law requires that any trailer that is attached to a truck must bear the same registration number as the truck. This makes it impossible to deploy a hub and spoke model as this model relies on trailers being capable of being detached from one truck and attached to another at each hub throughout the journey. If we truly want to think about transforming our national transportation infrastructure, we’d do well to re-visit some of these vestigial regulations.
