After ecommerce majors, now investors are showing appetite for
logistics ventures dedicated for ecommerce companies. Ecom Express
Private Limited, one of India’s fastest growing, e-commerce dedicated
logistics solutions providers has secured a fund of over Rs.100 Crore
from Peepul Capital. With this new funding, the Company plans to grow
its distribution capabilities even faster by expanding operations and
reach. The startup plans to expand its current footprint of 190
locations to 800 plus locations in the next 5 years, achieving
nationwide coverage.
Earlier this week Gurgaon based Delhivery closed a $35 million round of funding. The Series C investment led by Renuka Ramnath-led private equity firm Multiples Alternate Asset Management along with existing investors.
Ecom Express delivered nearly 5 million packages last year and has 3,000 employees at present on board. The Delhi based company expects to deliver about 20 million packages this year.

The India online retail market is growing at an explosive rate and research shows that it is projected to grow from $3 billion in 2013 to $ 23 billion by 2018.
