Since its launch in India in 2016 under the name WeFast, and subsequent global rebranding to Borzo in 2021, the company has established a robust presence across 22 Indian cities. It boasts over 200,000 active delivery partners within the country. Borzo's operations span various countries across Asia and Latin America, serving over 1.5 million customers and employing more than 250,000 active couriers. The clientele ranges from individual users to enterprises, with a particular focus on hyperlocal deliveries and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The relocation of Borzo's headquarters to India is not just a geographical shift but a strategic realignment towards leveraging the vast opportunities in the emerging economies of Asia. By making Mumbai the central hub for its operations, Borzo aims to enhance its operational efficiency and scale up its services to meet the growing demand in the region.

Alina Kisina, stepping into her role as CEO, emphasized the significance of this move for Borzo. "The decision to shift the Borzo HQ to India is a reaffirmation of the company's focus on capturing the India opportunity and expanding our client base and business," Kisina stated. She highlighted the aim to scale up operations and leverage the exceptional talent within Borzo to drive further growth.

Borzo's impressive growth trajectory in India, contributing approximately 50% to its global revenue, showcases the country's pivotal role in the company's success. As CEO, Kisina will oversee Borzo's business operations across key markets including India, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and Indonesia.

This strategic move by Borzo signals a significant commitment to not only expand its footprint in India but also to tap into the potential of the Indian market more effectively. By centralizing its operations in Mumbai, Borzo is poised for greater integration within the Asian market, aiming to enhance service delivery and customer satisfaction across its diverse client base.
