Global logistics company DTDC Express Ltd., has partnered with Prompt Xpress International Ltd., to expand its logistics footprint in Sri Lanka.

According to the new partnership, both companies have collaborated to launch a new customer contact point in Sri Lanka, which will operate under Prompt Xpress International Ltd. 

DTDC said this partnership is an important step in its mission to deepen its presence in South Asia and reinforce the India-Sri Lanka trade lane.

DTDC Chairman Subhasish Chakraborty recently visited Sri Lanka and spent time with renowned former Sri Lankan cricketer Aravinda De Silva, who leads Prompt Xpress as its Chairman, to solidify the partnership. 

Chakraborthy said this partnership is “about combining the precision of a legendary cricketer with the reliability of India’s leading logistics network.” He also noted that, “Together, we’re making cross-border trade faster, smarter, and more accessible.”

Founded on 26 July 1990, DTDC is India’s leading integrated express logistics provider and a pioneer of the franchise-based model in the industry. It operates over 16,500 outlets across India and has been steadily expanding its presence across the UK, Australia, Canada, and the Middle East.

Prompt Xpress, established in April 2015, was the brainchild of a few professionals with 10 to 30 years of experience in the domestic courier business and ICT industry. Today, it has become Sri Lanka’s largest courier service with 98 branches across the island, backed by vast ICT innovations.
