SAAS-based logistics company ShipEase has raised $1 M in a Pre-Series A Round led by Inflection Point Ventures. The funds raised will be utilized in expanding the team, improving the technology, developing new efficient products and brand building.

Founded in 2020 by Pawan Kumar, Ajay K, and Lalit Singh, the SAAS-based logistics provider stands as a pivotal solution in the realm of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands and Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) e-tailers. The company offers the best-in-class automated shipping services and seamlessly ships to 28000+ pincodes with smart courier allocation.

Pawan Kumar, the CEO, brings expertise from Xpressbees, Ecom Express, and Delhivery Ltd. Lalit Singh, the CRO, has worked at well reputed companies like FedEx, Delhivery, and Reliance Industries. Ajay K, MD & CTO comes with tech experience working with RBS, Iris Inc, and Aricent. Their collective experience in logistics, e-commerce, and technology drives Shipease's mission to innovate the shipping industry.


Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures, says, “Logistics play a pivotal role specially for D2C brands as managing supply chain is one of the biggest cost heads. For new and emerging brands, to build their own supply chain pan India, is a multi-crore commitment. However, ShipEase’s platform and their tech approach can help brands reach their customers faster while keeping logistics costs low.”

While timely and safe goods movement for high value products is a high priority for companies, what makes the shipments more secure is tech solution features including tracking the products, NDR Management and so on.

ShipEase has successfully designed a technology-enabled logistics solution which provides end-to-end automation for varied delivery requirements.
