Every once in a while, a business story comes along that isn’t born in a high-rise boardroom or a billion-dollar incubator, but in something as humble as a college cafeteria. DTBC Global Solution Private Limited is exactly that story. And at the heart of it is a young, driven entrepreneur—Aditya Manish Chatwani—whose blend of ambition, adaptability, and authenticity is redefining the world of international logistics.
The Pivot from Finance to Freight
When Aditya began his academic journey at K.J. Somaiya College of Science and Commerce, he envisioned a future paved with financial portfolios and corporate suits. With a Bachelor’s in Accounts and Finance under his belt and coveted internships at institutions like IIFL Wealth AMC, his path seemed clear.
But destiny had a different route planned.
As the pandemic hit and the world stood still, Aditya found himself at a career crossroads. With job offers tied to performance-based sales and financial uncertainty looming large, he turned to his roots. He offered to help his father, Mr. Manish Chatwani, who had spent over a decade running MAJ Shipping Private Limited, a licensed customs brokerage firm. What began as a temporary assist soon revealed an industry brimming with challenges, complexities—and untapped opportunities.
A Chance Meeting, A Shared Vision
The logistics world fascinated Aditya. To hone his understanding, he enrolled in a Post Graduate Diploma in Customs Clearance and Freight Forwarding at the University of Mumbai’s Garware Institute of Career Education and Development (UM GICED). It was here that he met Dhaval Dama, a fellow student who would go on to become his co-founder.
What started as dinner table discussions turned into strategic debates and entrepreneurial ideas. The result? DTBC Global Solution Private Limited—a company dreamt up by two young minds over coffee and coursework, and built through sheer willpower and long nights of groundwork.
The DTBC Way: More Than Moving Boxes
DTBC Global isn’t your average logistics firm. It’s a tailor-made solution provider that thrives on customization and precision. Whether it’s import or export, sea or air, bulk cargo or delicate parcels—DTBC ensures every element of the supply chain is managed end-to-end.
Their services include:
- Customs clearance
- Ocean and air freight forwarding
- Warehousing and inventory management
- Packaging and transportation
- Dispatch and delivery coordination
- With a growing network of trusted agents across five countries and operations that span across India, DTBC isn’t just moving goods—they’re building global bridges.
A Market Gap Wrapped in Opportunity
In a sector where large corporations often apply rigid structures to dynamic, 24/7 operations, Aditya saw a gap: the absence of personalized, scalable logistics solutions. Most logistics giants focused on volume, often overlooking smaller clients or unique demands. DTBC, on the other hand, took a different approach—people over process, precision over profit. From MSMEs to corporates, every client is offered a hands-on, human-led experience. It’s this very philosophy that fuels DTBC’s reputation as a responsive, dependable, and innovative partner.
The Roadblocks That Built Resilience
No journey worth telling is without its share of roadblocks. For DTBC, the early days were defined by the classic startup hurdles: team building, defining roles, setting systems, creating SOPs, and pitching for business.
What set Aditya apart wasn’t just his ability to tackle problems—but his willingness to learn from them. Every challenge became a lesson. Every obstacle, a stepping stone. With relentless commitment and Dhaval by his side, they built not just a business—but a resilient culture of agility, accountability, and adaptability.
Giving Back While Moving Forward
For Aditya, success isn’t a solo journey. Despite the demands of running two companies—DTBC Global and MAJ Shipping—he continues to contribute as a visiting faculty at UM GICED, the very institute that shaped his understanding of logistics.
Here, he teaches not just textbooks but real-world logistics—from negotiating customs to navigating international compliance. His presence in the classroom ensures that students aren’t just trained, but mentored, inspired, and industry-ready.
Milestones, Mindsets, and the Mission Ahead
While every new client is a celebration and every successful shipment a small victory, the true milestone for DTBC is the culture it has built—a culture of reliability, integrity, and excellence.
Looking ahead, the vision is expansive yet clear:
- To serve not just traders but major corporations, offering seamless logistics for everything from FMCG goods to heavy industrial machinery.
- To streamline and optimize supply chains by integrating technology and human expertise.
- To acquire strategic assets that elevate operations, foster innovation, and reduce dependency on third-party vendors.
- To be recognized globally as a dynamic, young, and reliable logistics brand that delivers—literally and metaphorically.
The Human Side of Supply Chains
At its core, DTBC Global is a story of ambition grounded in humility. It’s about a young man who took a detour from finance into freight, and turned a temporary job into a lifelong mission. It’s about friendships turned into partnerships, and dreams turned into destinations.
In a world where everything is moving faster—from ideas to goods—DTBC ensures that behind every box, container, and shipment, there’s a heartbeat of care, strategy, and purpose.
