Teleport India responds to the global demand for ‘Made in India’ products

New Delhi:In alignment with the Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative to boost the manufacturing potential of Indian SMEs and help the economy regain its vigor, Teleport India, AirAsia’s logistics arm, ties up with House of Masaba.Echoing the ‘Vocal for Local’ vision, the brand will provide its first pilot shipment to export essentials (face masks) to Southeast Asia. In an industry first move, Teleport India will be delivering masks to markets in Southeast Asia to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Teleport India is operational with more than 440 flights per month out of India with their base in eight cities – Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Trichy, Kochi and Visakhapatnam. Shipments with essentials from other SME brands will continue to be exported to other countries, cementing India’s position as an emerging manufacturing powerhouse.Moreover, Prime Minister Modi’s clarion call to the nation to support local brands, and the announcement of ‘Vocal for Local’ campaign in line with that, has opened up a new horizon for Indian manufacturers. Speaking about the SMEs, specially operating in India’s Fashion industry, have received further impetus to expand the reach, distribution and promotion of their products and thereby compete against the global giants in the highly competitive sector.“The world is witnessing a paradigm shift from traditional buying and selling mediums to social commerce platforms.
