LODKRO: Assam’s Own Logistics Revolution Is Coming
By Nitish, CEO of LODKRO & AETS PVT LTD
If you’ve ever tried to book a commercial vehicle in Guwahati — whether to shift a sofa, deliver goods, or move materials — you know the struggle. Long waits. Random pricing. No guarantee. And a lot of frustration.
This is the gap I’ve lived with, observed, and finally decided to fix.
That’s why I’m building LODKRO — an app that will soon launch in Guwahati to help you book trucks, tempos, mini vans, and more within 20 minutes.
Yes, it’s coming. Very soon.
And it’s built for Assam, from Assam.
Why I’m Doing This
I’m not your typical tech founder. My journey started as a political consultant — strategising campaigns for BJP, TMC, Jansuraj, UPPL and more. From the lanes of Lower Assam to the hills of Arunachal, I’ve seen the heartbeat of this region up close.
But time and again, I saw one thing slowing us down: logistics.
Whether it was delivering campaign material on time, or helping small businesses expand — everything depended on transportation. And in the Northeast, that system is broken.
I didn’t want to complain. I wanted to build.
What is LODKRO?
LODKRO is an on-demand commercial vehicle booking app.
We’re starting with Guwahati, but our vision is much larger.
You’ll be able to:
- Book a truck, tempo, van, or even an emergency vehicle within 20 minutes
- Get fixed pricing — no more negotiation drama
- Track your delivery in real time
- Support verified local drivers and businesses
It’s not just an app. It’s an ecosystem designed for Assam’s real transport needs.
Why Launch in Guwahati First?
Because Guwahati is the beating heart of the Northeast.

It’s where modern aspiration meets traditional business. A city that’s growing — fast — but still struggling with basic delivery and transport issues. From GS Road to Beltola, from furniture stores to brick depots, we’ve met hundreds of vendors who say the same thing:
“Customer to milta hai. Gadi nahi milta time pe.”
So we’re starting here. To solve that exact pain.
The Bigger Picture
Launching an app is easy.
Building a reliable logistics network in Assam is not.
But I’m not here for easy.
LODKRO is already backed by real infrastructure:
- A network of verified vehicles
- A local operations team in Guwahati
- Assets including generators, sound systems, LED trucks, and two logistics grounds under AETS Pvt. Ltd
- And a mission: To make logistics in Assam seamless, fast, and fair
This isn’t just tech. This is groundwork.
What Makes Us Different?
We don’t copy Delhi or Mumbai models.
We build for our soil.
- We speak in Assamese, Hindi, English — whatever works for our people
- We train local drivers, onboard local fleets
- We treat every delivery like a lifeline — because here, it often is
And most importantly, we’re not some faceless corporation. I’m here. My team is here. From Guwahati, for Guwahati.
The Road Ahead
LODKRO will go live in the coming months in Guwahati. We’re in our final testing and driver onboarding phase. The app is ready. The team is ready. And I believe — Assam is ready too.
But this isn’t a solo journey.
If you’re a business, a local vendor, a truck owner, a college student, or just someone who dreams of building Assam’s future — I invite you to join us.
Because this is not just about deliveries.
This is about dignity. About speed. About Northeast India finally getting the infrastructure it deserves.
Final Words
I’m not building LODKRO for fame or money.
I’m building it because I’ve lived the problem.
And now I’m ready to lead the solution.
Let’s move Assam forward.
One delivery at a time.
