History
e2e was formed by CEO Abid Butt in February 2006. After leaving French logistics company Geodis, Butt and a friend established e2e with 2 million rupees of seed capital and four employees, including Butt himself.
In the early stages of e2e’s inception, when it was expanding from 25 to 125 people and from 2 to 18 offices, it needed capital for expansion. Butt’s parents allowed him to mortgage their family home, and within 14 months e2e’s cash-flow issue was resolved, and his parents repaid.
Beginning with freight forwarding solutions, e2e soon expanded into warehousing, full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) services. The scope of operations then extended to incorporate Afghan Transit Trade services (commercial and non-commercial), and consulting services offering supply chain management solutions.
From 2008 to 2010, the company went from a start-up to a multi-million dollar business, growing 1,918 percent with revenues of nearly $75 million with an employee base of 297 people. Currently, e2e employs approximately 800 people.
