Earlier this week, Gurugram-based logistics startup Delhivery announced it raised $275 million in its Series H round led by Boston-headquartered investment firm Fidelity Management and Research Company. The round also saw participation from other leading public market funds.

With the fresh capital, Delhivery’s valuation is expected to rise to over $3 billion, the company said. The capital infusion comes in at a time when the company witnessed healthy revenue growth in FY21 despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unicorn is well poised on its path to profitability.

A third-party logistics service provider, Delhivery was founded in 2011 by Sahil Barua, Bhavesh Manglani, Kapil Bharati, Suraj Saharan, and Mohit Tandon.

With its nationwide network extending beyond 19,000 pin codes and 2,500 cities, the unicorn provides a full suite of logistics services, including express parcel transportation, LTL and FTL freight, reverse logistics, cross-border, B2B and B2C warehousing, end-to-end supply chain services, and technology services.

Its platform connects consigners, agents, and truckers, offering road transport solutions. Delhivery’s website claims the platform works with over 15,000 direct customers, including large and small ecommerce participants, SMEs, and over 500 leading enterprises and brands.
