LetsTransport Revs Up with $22 Million Series E Funding Round

LetsTransport, a leading trucking aggregator catering to enterprises, has successfully secured $22 million in its Series E funding round. The round was spearheaded by Bertelsmann India Investments, with participation from a consortium of prominent investors including Rebright Partners, NB Ventures, ALES Global, Stride Ventures, and CAC Capital.

Building on a Strong Foundation

This latest funding infusion brings LetsTransport’s total capital raised to $77 million, following a $25 million Series D round secured in July 2023. The fresh capital injection will empower LetsTransport to pursue a three-pronged strategy: expand its market presence, scale operations in adjacent business verticals, and achieve profitability.

A Platform Powering Efficient Logistics

Founded by Pushkar Singh, LetsTransport’s user-friendly platform offers clients access to a diverse fleet of trucks suitable for various use cases, spanning last-mile, mid-mile, and even electric vehicle deliveries. This flexibility ensures reliable and efficient delivery for brands while simultaneously enabling consistent income growth for partnered truck drivers. LetsTransport boasts an impressive client portfolio, counting a majority of India’s leading blue-chip enterprises across diverse sectors.

Driving Growth and Disruption in the Logistics Industry

The company boasts an extensive network exceeding 200,000 registered truckers and over 200 blue-chip clients operating across 25 cities. Their vision is to leverage technology to digitize and revolutionize this critical sector.

Beyond Core Services: Empowering Truckers
