Founder

Alok Bansal is a seasoned logistics and supply chain leader turned entrepreneur, best known as the founder of 13SQFT.com, a pioneering digital platform transforming India’s warehousing, logistics, and industrial ecosystem. Driven by a clear mission to organize and modernize one of the country’s most fragmented sectors, he has built 13SQFT into a comprehensive, technology-led marketplace that integrates infrastructure, automation, and supply chain solutions into a single unified platform.

Launched in 2021, 13SQFT was conceptualized to address deep-rooted inefficiencies in the warehousing and industrial space—where a largely unorganized ecosystem lacked standardization, transparency, and accessibility. Under Bansal’s leadership, the platform has emerged as a one-stop solution for enterprises seeking land, warehouses, infrastructure, and technology, while also enabling faster decision-making through tech-driven design, cost estimation, and vendor aggregation capabilities. His vision is anchored in enabling businesses—especially SMEs and Make-in-India ventures—to scale efficiently by providing them access to reliable, integrated infrastructure solutions.

Before founding 13SQFT, Bansal built an extensive career across some of the world’s leading organizations, holding senior leadership roles at companies such as DTDC Supply Chain, Delhivery, Mercedes-Benz, and Infosys. This diverse experience across logistics, automotive, and technology sectors gave him a unique cross-industry perspective, allowing him to identify systemic gaps and reimagine how supply chains could be designed and executed in a digital-first era.

Academically, he holds an MBA from SPJIMR and has further strengthened his expertise through executive education in warehouse design from IIM Ahmedabad, along with international exposure in management studies. Recognized for his leadership early in his career, he was also honored as one of the youngest supply chain leaders in the industry.

Through a combination of deep domain expertise, entrepreneurial vision, and a strong focus on technology-driven transformation, Alok Bansal is redefining how India builds, operates, and scales its logistics and warehousing infrastructure—positioning 13SQFT as a catalyst for efficiency, transparency, and growth in the evolving supply chain landscape.
