About the Brand/Company: Established in 1990 and headquartered at Bangalore, DTDC has 7 Zonal offices, 20 strategically located Regional Offices and over 430 operating facilities spread across India. DTDC has now embarked upon its journey of transforming its identity from an Express Document Player to an Integrated Parcels driven business through its strategic partnership with Geopost DPD group - Europe's second largest Parcels Delivery player. The brand name is now being re-christened to DTDC Express Limited as the company focuses to enhance their expertise in the logistics sector under their Vision 2020 program.The strategy behind the repositioning of the brand is to project DTDC as a complete express logistics player that delivers significant value in the markets that it operates in across the globe. DTDC Express Limited has its presence in more than 500 district headquarters through its large network of more than 10500 franchisees and extends services to over 10,500 Pin codes while handling more than 12 million shipments every month. DTDC Express Limited also has a significant global footprint and services 240 international locations including USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Hong Kong, Australia, China and all Asian countries, through its own operations, joint ventures and business associates. A key part of the success of DTDC’s network is the contribution of its people. It comprises of a family of 35,000 people including employees, franchisees and their associates who are committed to its spirit of service. The fundamental idea behind the DTDC franchise mechanism, was to foster entrepreneurship; create entrepreneur opportunities for people from all walks of life; and form a channel for social change. This ideology led to the insight to create budding entrepreneurs out of energetic business-minded individuals, who had the desire but lacked the guidance and the resources to start on their own. Their alignment with DTDC through the low-cost franchise system supported their requirements of capital, access to technology, equipment and knowledge. This ignited their pursuit for enterprise and transformed DTDC into a household name. It also created uncharted employment avenues for the downtrodden and empowered innumerable first-time, independent and unorganised entrepreneurs. It was an extraordinary vision of 'sharing of wealth' that went on to extend entrepreneurship opportunities for urban and rural population as well. This was achieved by setting-up at least one franchisee, at subsidised rates, in each taluka What's more, the scope of this franchise chain never ends. DTDC is now running a special project to facilitate subsidised outlets for Army people who suffer injuries at work. |

DTDC's unique franchisee-based model lies at the heart of its success; and a robust Training & Development programme underpins this success. As soon as a franchisee joins, he/she undergoes an induction programme, where he/she is given an overview of all the facets of running a franchise. DTDC provides a welcome kit to a franchisee, which includes all the critical equipment and material needed to start the business. Plus, a special incubation cell is created to guide the franchisee on a daily basis especially, during the initial few weeks. DTDC also organises training on various operational subjects for the franchisee's field staff through its branch offices. Periodic product training and knowledge sharing is encouraged through one-on-one interaction, meetings and online modules.
