Founded on August 8, 1983, by Chairman Mr. S.L. Sharma, Skyways Group began its journey as a customs broker with just four employees. Within its first year, the company expanded into airfreight forwarding. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global logistics leader, with a robust network of offices across India, the Middle East, and Europe. Skyways Group is committed to delivering results that exceed customer expectations, offering a comprehensive portfolio of services including air and ocean freight, customs brokerage, warehousing, and supply chain consulting.
