With the vision and die-hard conviction of our founder, Mr. S. C.
Chakraborty, Zodiac Express spread its wings on 26th
July 1991 to
cover the needs of Kolkata. The overwhelming response from Corporate
Sector was not just a dream come true, but also the fruits of early
realization and recognition of tremendous potential that all West
Bengal offers in terms of market size.
It was a prudence and foresight of Mr. S. C. Chakraborty about the
market potential, and launched an Intracity courier company that
would serve the needs of billions of Indians, spread across the length
and breadth of the country. Transforming it into Zodiac Express Private
Limited, strengthened the company's corporate standing. Ever since,
the company has expanded its operations rapidly, opening 9 offices in
Kolkata and Greater Kolkata in just two years. T
Today the company is
proud to have an impressive network to spanning more than 1100
destinations in West Bengal covering 19 districts in West Bengal &
