Built for global trade, since 2007.

AGL began as a small Indian freight forwarder serving the Middle East and grew into a multinational logistics brand operating across six regions. This is the story — and the people behind it.

YEARS BUILDING THE NETWORK

From Mumbai
to the world.

AGL was founded in 2007 with a simple proposition: a freight forwarding partner that owned its operations end-to-end, not one that subcontracted every leg of the journey to a different vendor. Today AGL operates 14 owned offices across six regions and is the long-term logistics partner of choice for over 2,200 businesses worldwide.
