New Delhi [India], January 13: In 2026, logistics has transcended its traditional role as a back-end support function to become the strategic “fulcrum of economic transformation” for high-capacity businesses. As global markets navigate a “Rubicon” year of implementation, a robust logistics network now serves as the invisible yet indispensable nervous system that converts raw industrial capacity into a competitive edge.
In an era defined by hyper-charged digital demand and trillions in projected global market value, the ability to move goods with precision is no longer just an operational goal it is the lifeblood of the digital economy. For any enterprise aiming to scale, an optimized supply chain is the stabilizing force that prevents rapid growth from collapsing into operational chaos.
At the forefront of mastering this complexity is Anand Muthu, the Group Managing Director at the MGM Group. Under his leadership, MGM Group has evolved its logistics arm into a powerhouse of efficiency, bridging the gap between traditional infrastructure and the high-speed requirements of modern commerce.
According to the Logistics Report 2026 conducted by StartUs Insights, the industry is undergoing a massive transformation with over 139,100 active companies and 9,700 startups redefining the landscape through nearly 175,000 filed patents.
In India, the stakes are equally high, with the sector projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10.7% through 2026 as the nation strives to bring its logistics costs down to below 10% of its GDP.
This explosive growth is driven by a surge in e-commerce expected to hit $156 billion in India by the end of this year positioning logistics as one of the most critical pillars of modern business scale and global competitiveness.
Anand Muthu has strategically positioned the MGM Group to capitalize on this shifting landscape by integrating advanced predictive analytics and automated warehousing solutions that align with India’s national logistical goals.
By synchronizing the group’s operations with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, Muthu has ensured that MGM’s infrastructure is not merely reactive but a proactive driver of supply chain resilience.
“For the MGM Group, logistics is the heartbeat of a rising India. We aren’t just moving cargo; we are fueling the momentum of a nation. By aligning our vision with the government’s transformative initiatives like PM Gati Shakti, we are building the infrastructure of a global superpower.” Says MGM Anand Muthu.
“Together, we are turning ‘Make in India’ into a reality that reaches every corner of the world, ensuring that our legacy is one of leading the way toward an efficient, empowered, and unstoppable economy.”
This forward-thinking approach is critical as the industry moves toward 2026, where the emphasis has transitioned from simple transportation to complex, tech-enabled “smart logistics.” As the MGM Group continues to scale its fleet and fulfillment centers, it serves as a microcosm of India’s broader economic ambition: transforming a fragmented sector into a unified, world-class network that reduces overhead for manufacturers while meeting the hyper-local demands of a booming digital marketplace.
Through this lens, MGM Group is not just navigating the 10.7% sectoral growth; it is actively setting the benchmark for how Indian enterprises can achieve global competitiveness through logistical excellence.
