Background
Blue Dart was founded by Tushar Jani (chairman) and his friends Khushroo Dubash and Clyde Cooper in November 1983.[8][9] In the early years, Blue Dart had a business agreement with Gelco Express International, UK, for the operations of international air package express services from India.[10]
