About
Built from inside the freight industry
LaneQuote AI is built in Pune by Rahul Pande, who has spent more than 15 years in freight and logistics, together with co-founder Suyog Kalyankar, who leads technology and product.
Forwarders win business on speed and accuracy, yet most quotes are still put together by hand from Excel rate sheets and carrier emails. Good pricing people spend their day retyping numbers and answering the same status questions, while shippers book with whoever replies first.
LaneQuote exists to give that time back. It drafts the quotes and updates, your team keeps the judgment, and nothing goes out without a person approving it.
Rahul Pande
Founder and CEO
Rahul Pande is the founder and CEO of LaneQuote AI. He has spent more than 15 years in freight and logistics, on the side of the business where shipments are priced, booked and tracked.
Over that time he has worked with freight forwarders, shippers and carriers across pricing, operations and customer service. He knows firsthand how much of a forwarder's day goes into building quotes by hand from rate sheets and answering the same shipment questions, and how often a booking goes to whoever replies first.
He started LaneQuote to bring AI into that work in a way forwarders can trust: built around the rate sheets and inboxes teams already use, with a person approving every quote before it goes out. He leads customers, onboarding and partnerships, and works directly with every forwarder that joins.
Suyog Kalyankar
Co-founder, Technology and Product
Suyog Kalyankar is a co-founder of LaneQuote AI, where he leads technology and product. Where Rahul brings the view from inside the freight industry, Suyog brings the engineering side: turning how forwarders actually work into software they can rely on.
He builds the AI agents that read quote requests and rate sheets. He also owns the connections to the inboxes and tools forwarders already use, and the controls that keep every customer's rates and data separate and secure.
Together, Rahul and Suyog work directly with every forwarder that joins: Rahul on how quoting and operations should run, Suyog on making the product fit that workflow.
