Global logistics costs account for nearly 10–12% of global GDP, yet most people still think logistics is simply about transporting goods from one place to another. In reality, modern logistics has become a technology-driven industry powered by real-time tracking, IT asset management, automation, and operational intelligence.

In this episode of the ExitFund Podcast, Ajit Venkatesh from Globe Moving explains how logistics is evolving far beyond transportation. From IT asset deployment and reverse logistics to data center relocation and tech-enabled operations, he breaks down why logistics companies today must become technology companies to survive and scale.
