Smart logistics strengthens cross-border trade movement

DP World is strengthening logistics cooperation between the UAE and India by backing DocketRun AI, a tech start-up developing tools to modernise supply chain operations. The company has offered the start-up a soft-landing package in the UAE, giving it access to DP World’s logistics ecosystem, mentorship, and potential industry partners.

DocketRun’s technology focuses on improving efficiency across freight, warehousing, and industrial operations. Its AIoT solutions—ranging from automated operational assessments to advanced quality-inspection systems and video analytics—aim to reduce delays, improve safety, and optimise resource use. Such tools are increasingly important as India and the UAE expand trade volumes under CEPA.

The startup was selected from 10,000 applicants, reflecting India’s fast-growing innovation landscape in supply chain and logistics technology. With DP World’s support, DocketRun will now explore how its systems can integrate with cross-border trade flows, helping streamline processes for manufacturers and exporters entering the Gulf region.

DP World continues to push for smarter, more connected logistics corridors linking the two countries. Beyond ports and inland hubs in India, the company is also developing Bharat Mart, a major trading hub designed to help Indian businesses ship goods faster and efficiently to the UAE and global markets.
