Our story · Built in India

We're fixing Indian shipping rates.

Every Indian business deserves a single, neutral way to price a parcel between any two pincodes — accurately, in INR, with the quote always matching the invoice. That's the API we're building.

Our mission

Make the quoted price equal the invoiced price.

Indian commerce loses crores every year to the gap between the shipping fee shown at checkout and what the courier actually bills. Stale pincode data, guessed zones and ignored volumetric weight turn every order into a small reconciliation headache.

Postpin closes that gap with one API call: real India Post-synced pincodes, a deterministic zone engine, billable-weight math and a fully itemised, GST-aware charge — so the number your customer sees is the number you pay.

“A quote is a promise. If the invoice breaks it, the checkout was lying.”

The problem we exist to solve — and the bar every release is measured against.

Milestones

From a courier headache to a national API

  1. 2023

    Postpin founded in Jaipur

    Two ops engineers, tired of reconciling courier rate sheets by hand, set out to build a single neutral shipping-rate API for India.

  2. 2024

    India Post auto-sync goes live

    A nightly cron began diffing the India Post directory into every tenant's pincode master — no more stale CSVs or manual uploads.

  3. 2025

    pincodes in sync

    Postpin crossed full national pincode coverage with zone resolution for every serviceable PIN across all states and union territories.

  4. 2026

    /v1 reaches general availability

    The rate engine, rate cards, webhooks and usage analytics shipped to GA — now serving 1,284 tenants and 42M+ calls a month.

What we value

The principles behind every release

Accuracy over approximation

The quoted price must equal the invoiced price. We obsess over zone resolution, volumetric weight and GST so your checkout never lies.

Developer-first, always

Predictable JSON, typed SDKs, honest docs and sub-50ms responses. If it takes more than five minutes to your first quote, we failed.

Built in India, for India

India Post-native pincodes, INR-first billing with GST invoices, and a zone engine modelled on how the country actually ships.

Trust by default

Domain and IP-scoped keys, signed webhooks, audit logs and a 99.9% SLA. Your pricing data and your customers' trust come first.

The team

A small, senior team shipping for India

Engineers, designers and operators who've shipped logistics and payments at scale — now building the rate layer they always wished existed.
