TCS is playing an extremely effective role in ensuring quality logistics business in the Pakistani market. Its dominance in the domestic market along with its coalition with UPS empowers it to provide a wide range of services to its customers. In addition, all these efforts also supplement end-to-end distribution and shipment solutions to over 220 countries across the world.

There is no doubt that Alibaba is intending to enter and explore the Pakistani market. There are two options for them: either entering directly or via a local company. It is pertinent to mention that AliPay is going to be launched in Pakistan very soon.
