How the backbone is drawn

Sixteen hubs hold the published network. Four of them have city pages — Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune — because those desks own a group function as well as a lane. The other twelve are operating nodes: ports, cold corridors, cross-docks and industrial belts. 140+ branches report on this board. Freight into 180+ countries leaves through the port desks.

A hub is a desk, not a pin. Hover it. Then write to it.

Freight

The lane.

Road, rail, sea and air on one invoice. Every published hub carries freight. Mumbai, Delhi, Visakhapatnam and Chennai are the usual heavy and exim gates.

Cold chain

The floor.

Ambient to −80 °C on designated corridors. Hyderabad pharma, Kochi perishables, and temperature-controlled stock through Mumbai, Delhi and Pune.

Applied AI

The decision.

Bengaluru writes the agents. They sit on Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad and Indore sites — and on any other hub the brief names.

How to brief a city

Named city pages

Four desks with a local brief.

Mumbai — HQ, 3PL, exim, control tower. Delhi NCR — northern parcel and ODC. Bengaluru — applied AI. Pune — materials lab and the Mumbai–Hyderabad belt.

Other hubs

Write the same inbox.

Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Jaipur, Kochi, Guwahati, Ludhiana, Visakhapatnam, Indore and Coimbatore. Name the city in the enquiry. The commercial desk routes it.

International

Exim and project cargo move through Indian ports into 180+ countries. JNPA and Mumbai air cargo are the west-coast gate; Chennai, Kochi and Visakhapatnam are the other published port desks. The commercial inbox remains hello@asterique.in regardless of lane.

How many hubs does Asterique publish?

Sixteen. Four have city pages (Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune). The other twelve are listed on this board with their operating role.

Is the operations map live telemetry?

No. It is a Kepler.gl map of published hubs, named ports and lanes — freight, cold chain and AI deployments. Structure, not a live feed.

Can you move cargo out of India?

Yes. Exim is a named logistics capability. Reach is 180+ countries. The inland origin hub and the port desk sit on one contract.


Network desk

Name the hub, or the corridor.

We route the brief to the desk that owns it. One working day.
