Softlink Academy, the skilling and education initiative of logistics technology leaderSoftlink Global, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Globelink WW India, one of India’s leading integrated logistics service providers. The partnership aims to build a future-ready workforce for freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and allied logistics services.
The collaboration brings together Softlink’s three decades of expertise in logistics technology with Globelink WW’s extensive operational network and recruitment reach. The joint objective is to deploy job-ready professionals across India, the Middle East, and Africa—equipped with practical knowledge and real-world tools.
With 26 locations across India and the global footprint of the Globelink Group—spanning 100 offices in 30 countries—Globelink WW offers a powerful platform to deliver world-class freight solutions backed by local experience and global capability.
Despite being one of India’s largest employment engines, the logistics sector faces a persistent disconnect: thousands of frontline roles go unfilled due to a shortage of trained professionals, while millions of semi-skilled workers remain underemployed. This partnership addresses that gap by integrating Globelink’s operational expertise with Softlink Academy’s ERP-based skilling using the Logi-Sys platform, creating a scalable talent pipeline aligned with industry needs.
