OEM components, aftermarket spares and complete CKD units, with careful load planning and scheduled transport to keep overseas assembly lines supplied.
Cargoking Shipping & Logistics is an international freight forwarder and import export logistics company headquartered in Ghatkopar West, Mumbai, India. Established in 2000 by Pragnesh Patel, we manage air, sea, road and rail transport for manufacturers, importers and exporters worldwide who need reliable execution and clear communication.
Founder & CEO
Managing complex trade lanes requires deep familiarity with how carriers and port authorities operate under pressure. Pragnesh Patel has spent more than 25 years in international freight forwarding, customs compliance and trade documentation. He founded Cargoking on a fundamental belief: a logistics provider proves its worth the moment an unexpected hurdle disrupts the supply chain. A vessel rolls, a document is queried, a consignee changes at the last minute.
Remaining active at the same operational helm for decades builds direct relationships with major shipping lines and the practical expertise needed to spot potential transit bottlenecks days before they affect your delivery schedule.
Every shipment is a business commitment. The responsibility is to move cargo with clarity, compliance and dependable execution from start to finish.
That belief set the operating method the company still runs on: plan carefully, document correctly, communicate clearly and stay accountable until the cargo is delivered.
Who we are
We plan the route, book the capacity, prepare the paperwork and stay on the file until the cargo is delivered. Nothing is handed down a chain of intermediaries, which is why most of our business is repeat business.
More than 500 businesses ship with us, from first-time exporters to manufacturers running regular containers, and a good number have done so for more than a decade, through staff changes on both sides, policy changes and shifting freight markets. In this trade, tenure is the one reference that cannot be manufactured.
Capabilities
Our operating team coordinates complete cargo movements from initial enquiry to final delivery across multiple transport modes and specialised handling requirements.
Industries we serve
We handle export and import freight for automotive, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, engineering and chemical businesses. Every industry ships on different schedules and regulatory requirements, so each one gets its own handling plan.
OEM components, aftermarket spares and complete CKD units, with careful load planning and scheduled transport to keep overseas assembly lines supplied.
Time-critical medical shipments under temperature-controlled handling, routed to stay within their required thermal range.
Industrial capital goods, raw materials and finished textiles through FCL and LCL ocean freight, on whichever option gives the lower landed cost for your volume.
Order fulfilment, global distribution and regular consolidations for apparel and bulk retail cargo bound for international markets.
Heavy machinery and industrial plant assets moved on flat-rack containers and low-bed trailers, with road permits and crane loading coordinated.
Regulated products and hazardous materials classified, packed, labelled and declared under international maritime and aviation codes.
How we work
Paperwork discrepancies are a common reason for customs clearance delays. Our team oversees freight planning, booking and final delivery, coordinates ground movements across major sea and air gateways, monitors container stuffing and factory loading schedules and manages export documentation to keep your shipment moving steadily. Every file runs on five standards.
Mode and carrier are chosen against your deadline and landed cost, not against whatever is easiest to reserve.
Our team verifies your commercial invoice, HSN codes and bill of lading in-house before official filings are made by our licensed clearance partners.
Every account gets a named specialist who follows your shipment from the first question to final delivery, so you do not have to repeat details. Accountability does not transfer at the port.
Milestones are pushed to you, so you stay informed without needing to chase. Our 24/7 operations desk handles exceptions when they happen, not the next morning.
Every quotation itemises handling charges and destination fees upfront, including the costs some quotations leave out, giving you financial clarity before you book.

Worldwide agent network
We provide global freight forwarding services from India to six continents, through direct partnerships with 100+ overseas agents and our own registered company in Kenya. A booking placed with our team is handled by someone accountable at the destination, rather than an unverified agency network.
Our home region, with nationwide collection by road and rail and agent coverage across the major Asian gateways.
Our shortest international lane, with consolidated and full-container sea freight alongside air cargo.
FCL, LCL and air freight on established lanes, backed by pre-checked Indian export paperwork.
Because Cargoking operates a registered company in Kenya, African movements run through our own entity rather than only an agent.
Long-haul ocean and air transport, with documentation and classification completed before departure.
Covered through our worldwide agent network, on the sailing and routing that suits the commodity and the deadline.
Milestones
Our company history reflects steady, careful growth built on reliable execution and trusted client relationships.
The company started with a hands-on freight coordination model built around a small group of exporters.
Expanded our reach across major Indian industrial hubs to support chemical, engineering and retail clients.
Established direct partnerships with 100+ international agents to reach key trade lanes without unnecessary middlemen.
Reached 500+ active business clients across import, export, warehousing and project cargo.

Where we work from
Cargoking operates from Ghatkopar West, within working reach of Nhava Sheva (JNPT), one of India’s busiest container ports, and the air cargo terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). That proximity lets our team follow up port inspections and terminal queries quickly.
The city is also where carriers, consolidators and CFS operators are concentrated. Being inside that network means space on a tight sailing or a busy cargo flight can often be found by making a call.
Cargoking is also a registered company in Kenya, so East African movements clear through our own entity on the ground rather than an agent acting on our behalf. Cargo itself comes from everywhere: manufacturers across Maharashtra, Gujarat and further inland feed the export gateways by road and rail, so a client in Pune deals with exactly the same team as one in Andheri.

We share copies of our ISO 9001:2015 certificate, MTO registration with DG Shipping, FFFAI membership and MSME registration on request, and the details are on our certifications page. MTO (Multimodal Transport Operator) registration allows us to issue a single multimodal transport document for cargo that moves by more than one mode, such as road and sea, so one party is accountable for the combined journey.
Customs filings are completed through our licensed customs clearance partners, while our own team checks your documents in-house before dispatch. We verify commercial invoices, HSN codes and bills of lading internally, which reduces the risk of customs queries at the port. Learn more about our DGFT and customs documentation support.
Yes, we collect from each supplier by road or rail, consolidate the goods and ship them as one export consignment. Our warehousing and consolidation service keeps documentation central, so overseas buyers deal with one set of paperwork and one coordinator instead of several.
Your coordinator tells you as soon as we know, explains the cause and sets out the options, such as rebooking, rerouting or switching mode. Our 24/7 operations desk handles schedule changes and after-hours queries, so exceptions are worked on when they happen, not the next morning.
