Gurugram-headquartered logistics-tech startup Shiplog has announced the successful closure of its INR 6.5 crore seed funding round, led by the Deepak Bhagnani Family Office, a Mumbai-based investment entity. This marks Shiplog’s first external fundraise since its inception in 2022, transitioning from a bootstrapped model to one now energized by institutional capital.
The freshly acquired funding will be directed towards enhancing Shiplog’s technological infrastructure, expanding its core team, and developing an AI-powered inventory management system rooted in advanced predictive analytics. The company’s strategic ambition is to entrench itself as a market leader in the Delhi-NCR region, which remains India’s largest and most competitive market for dark store-based fulfilment and rapid last-mile logistics.

Redefining Speed in Indian Logistics
Founded by Kamal Sharma (CEO), Pratik Dasgupta (COO), and Shubhangi Pandey (CFO), Shiplog is a next gen logistics enabler for Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) and e-commerce brands. We process over 15,000 orders daily and offer 4 hour, same day and next day deliveries through our hyperlocal delivery model with dark stores located strategically across the city.
What sets us apart from traditional players is our tech first approach. We don’t rely on large centralised warehouses which lead to delayed deliveries and higher Return to Origin (RTO) rates. We have small fulfilment centers closer to the end customer. This model allows for swift deliveries, lower operational costs, and greater inventory control for partner brands.
According to the co-founders, “Unlike conventional logistics services offering 3–4 day delivery windows, Shiplog’s seamless, AI-backed platform empowers online-first brands to meet fast-evolving consumer demands with same-day or next-day delivery guarantees. The new capital will be pivotal in scaling operations and catalyzing our long-term vision to be India’s leading rapid delivery brand for D2C businesses.”

Industry Backing and Investor Confidence
Investor Deepak Bhagnani underscored the significance of Shiplog’s offering in the context of India’s evolving commerce landscape. “Quick-commerce has fundamentally reshaped consumer expectations. Shiplog’s razor-sharp focus on speed, efficiency, and intelligent logistics systems positions it uniquely to ride this wave. We are confident in the team’s vision and thrilled to support their growth journey.”
Shiplog’s platform currently boasts real-time tracking, inventory visibility, route optimization, and actionable analytics, all key features that have allowed it to achieve 98%+ on-time deliveries within 7–8 hours of order placement. In parallel, its commitment to green logistics is evident through its increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across its fleet—a move aimed at not only cutting emissions but also improving long-term profitability.

Market Context and Future Outlook
As per a Redseer Consulting report, India’s D2C market is expected to grow at 40% CAGR from 2022 to 2027. But only less than 20% of India’s 12 million daily e-commerce deliveries are same day deliveries. This supply-demand gap is huge and Shiplog is looking to lead the charge.
With the seed funding in place, the startup is targeting to triple its Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) within the next six months, while also laying the groundwork for future funding rounds.
In a sector where speed is currency, Shiplog is betting big on technology, hyperlocal infrastructure, and sustainability to script a new chapter in Indian logistics.
