About DHL Information Services India
DHL Information Services India in Mumbai is one of the country's most established logistics technology GCCs, serving the world's largest logistics company with software engineering, platform development, and IT services that span DHL's five global divisions. Established in 2007 and grown to approximately 5,000 technology professionals, the Mumbai centre works on the full spectrum of logistics technology — from international express courier tracking systems to freight management software, supply chain visibility platforms, and the enterprise IT infrastructure that keeps a 590,000-person global logistics operation running.
The most strategically important work at DHL India is supply chain visibility and AI-powered freight forecasting. Supply chain visibility platforms give DHL's corporate customers real-time tracking of their shipments across DHL's global network, using IoT sensors, GPS data, and predictive ETAs to provide transparency that reduces supply chain uncertainty. Freight demand forecasting uses machine learning to predict air freight, ocean freight, and road freight volumes across DHL's network, enabling optimal capacity allocation and pricing — a capability that directly impacts the margin management of a EUR 84 billion logistics business.
DHL India targets 5,500 employees by 2027, with growth in cloud-native platform engineering, AI freight analytics, and supply chain visibility technology. The Godrej BKC One location in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex provides premium infrastructure in India's financial capital, and DHL's global scale and diversity of logistics challenges — from same-day urban delivery to intercontinental freight — creates an intellectually rich engineering environment for technology professionals in the logistics domain.
