Increasing integration with the global economy coupled with improving production activity and consumption trends have propelled the demand for freight forwarding in India. With an exponential expansion, the freight forwarding sector has now turned into a massively competitive space. Currently, there are more than 10,000 domestic and international players operating in the Indian market, says Journal of Commerce. Although this situation has increased the availability of services, yet, reliability and efficiency of the freight forwarders are major concerns. With every player claiming to deliver the best service at the most affordable rate, the question is of quality of service and reliability.
Eagle Air Sea Services has established itself as a reliable and trustworthy partner for its customers. By leveraging the data and cutting edge technology, the company has gained a leading edge in this market.
“According to CASS (Cargo Account Settlement Systems) figures for 2021, we are number one in air freight from Italy to Chennai, number two in air freight from Italy to Bangalore, and number four in air freight from Italy to Delhi. For sea freight, we close our own LCL boxes to Chennai (serving ICD Bangalore) & to Mumbai (serving ICD Delhi),” says Sriram Girish, CEO at Eagle Air Sea Services.
Premium Shipping Channel From Italy
Although Eagle Air Sea Services provides integrated end-to-end freight forwarding solutions to worldwide destinations, its key area of expertise remains in the trade lanes from Italy. “For the last 15 years, we have incessantly focused on the Italy freight market. This in turn helped us increase our buying capacity exponentially on this particular channel”, shares Sriram. Since its inception, Eagle has been quite diligent in its approach and overall mindset. The continued investment in the trade lane from Italy has helped the firm evolve as an undisputed leader over this trade route.
As per the CASS data of 2021, Eagle is not only the number one in air freight from Italy to Chennai , but it has greatly outperformed the international player (DHL) who came second after Eagle, with more than double margin. It's not all about the buying capacity, but also the continued focus towards premium best-in-class service with most competitive rates, that helped Eagle Air Sea Services attain this milestone.
Sriram mentions, “Starting COSCO via Jeddah for sea freight to Qatar Airways for Chennai and Emirates for Bangalore. Our choice for premium shipping companies and airlines has never been subject to negotiation”.
Moreover, Eagle Air Sea Services strives to establish prompt communication with the clients. The management team of the firm even organizes rigorous training for its employees to ensure that its clients are always satisfied with any and every need. It is again customary for Eagle to track all of its consignments thrice a day, so that any potential delay is immediately actioned with its overseas counterpart for troubleshooting before it actually blows up into something major.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Since its inception, Eagle Air Sea Services has been keen about implementing advanced technology in its overall operations. Starting with new age ERP system to cutting edge information tools, Eagle has performed an optimum utilization of its resources to ensure guaranteed ROI to its clients.
Furthermore, the firm's access to cutting edge information tools and market data has been its key differentiating factor. These tools help Eagle to gain a bird's-eye view over the freight forwarding market, and understand how the market is reacting at every point. The deep-rooted knowledge about its clients, competition and overall market helps Eagle mold and shape its service in the best possible form. “Our market knowledge helps us tailor our approach to incredibly precise levels to better suit the client’s needs.

Family Run Entity
Eagle Air Sea Services was founded by, late Shri. C.S. Girish in 2007. “The team started out as a father-son duo. My father C.S. Girish was a colossus in the industry with over 35 years, worth of experience. Unfortunately, he passed away on June 7th, 2020. But we at Eagle Air strongly believe that he is with us in spirit, guiding us throughout”, shares Sriram.
Today, Eagle is led by Sriram and his mother Saraswathy Girish with his father’s blessings. The overall team of Eagle is a perfect mixture of youth and experience. There are just enough elders guiding the incoming youngsters through. The right mix of youth, energy and experience has fueled the company towards a number of milestones. Sriram points out, “Loyalty is something we look for in our staff and we have some of them who've been with us for decades. They also show initiative by working with their laptops far beyond office hours. We can't complain much as the management”.
With this impeccable team, Eagle's has witnessed a manifold growth over the years. In 2017, the firm doubled its Chennai business and in 2018, it found its best and perhaps permanent partner in Italy - M/s. Multi logistics SPA. Whereas in 2019, Eagle opened its branch in Delhi and in 2021, the firm incorporated the Bangalore branch. Owing to the firm's dedication towards quality service, the firm became number two from Italy to Bangalore within one year of its inception and No.4 from Italy to Delhi within three year of its inception.
Number One From Italy To India
Right now Eagle Air Sea Services is deliberately working to level up its game in the Bangalore and Delhi market. In three years of time, the firm wants to position itself as the most preferred freight company for the clients who forward their consignments from Italy. Like Chennai, Sriram wants Eagle to be at the forefront in the Delhi and Bangalore market. Apart from Bangalore and Delhi, Eagle is eyeing for the Mumbai market. “The Mumbai market is by far the largest market in freight forwarding from Italy, and in the coming days we want to be at the top of that list as well. This will help us to evolve as the number one freight forwarder from Italy to India”, concludes Sriram.
