Inter-city Logistics Platform, Trukky, Raises a Successful Angel Round

By

Bangalore, October 25, 2016 - Trukky, a mobile app based on-demand inter-city freight transportation service for SMEs, Raise an Undisclosed Angel Round From Gautham Radhakrishnan (Tata Opportunities Fund), Keyur Joshi (MakeMyTrip) and other investors on LetsVenture.

“I’m very excited about Trukky! The existing model of finding trucks for SME’s has too many intermediaries. Hence bringing the eventual truck owner (who also happens to be a driver many times) directly to the customer through technology will bring in efficiencies as well as save money for both parties. Secondly, millions of tons of cargo space every day is going unutilized in form of trucks running less than full loads or returning to their base. Technology can bring this cargo space to the market very efficiently. This Space provides one of the best opportunities for disruption in the world, more so in India.” said Keyur Joshi, Co-founder of MakeMyTrip and lead investor in the round.

Trukky is addressing a significant opportunity in Indian logistics for the spot booking market, and by addressing the less than truckload market, a potential area to increase efficiency in logistics and significant marginal benefit for all parties. Subhasish and the team have diligently, frugally and cleverly built a platform the hard way to build logistics supply, a payment channel and a network piece by piece. He and the team appear to be well qualified to make this work combining a systematic approach and basic discipline to a sector lacking in both. Persistence will take them further.” said Gautham Radhakrishnan, Partner, Tata Opportunities Fund and lead investor in the round.About TrukkyTrukky is a mobile app based on-demand inter-city freight transportation service for SMEs.
