Zorp, a technology platform for physical work, has raised a pre-seed round of $600,000 from Good Capital, Better Capital, and Bharat Founders Fund, with participation from Ashish Goel of UrbanLadder, Rahul Chaudhary of Treebo, Kuldeep Dhankar of Fast9, Sayali Karanjkar ex-PaySense, and several other angels.

“We see a clear future where Zorp is part of the technology stack for fast-growing companies that will increase their speed of execution in the order of 100x. Great companies move really fast, and we want to be the engine that helps them run as fast as they can,” said Bala Panneerselvam, Co-founder at Zorp.

Companies—small and large—digital-first or not, still run a large part of their physical operations on spreadsheets and chat groups as the actual cost and opportunity cost of building these tools is very high. 

ZORP is addressing this market by providing the product managers and business teams the ability to build full-stack products, including mobile apps, web dashboards, and reporting focused on the mobile workforce in a fraction of the time and cost.

Arjun Malhotra, partner at Good Capital said, 

“Over the past few years, companies like Shopify, Salesforce, etc have set up the rails with which businesses can scale really fast. The next generation of companies will optimise operations as fast as possible. That would require a lean product that is scalable and customisable. I see Zorp as the platform that can help companies scale their operational efficiency without much investment.”

Started by Bala Panneerselvam, Vivek DK, and Subramanya Somayaji, Zorp claims its customers have built apps for over 10 different industries, including field sales, logistics, ecommerce, and warehousing on Zorp already.
