🚚 XpressBees: Powering India’s Logistics Revolution

🏁 Origins and Founders

XpressBees began as the logistics arm of FirstCry, India’s leading baby products e-commerce platform. It was co-founded by Amitava Saha and Supam Maheshwari, who saw the need for a reliable, scalable logistics solution tailored to India’s fast-growing e-commerce sector. In 2015, XpressBees spun off as an independent entity under the legal name Busybees Logistics Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
