JustDeliveries Raises INR 5.5 Crore to Boost IntraCity Logistics

12 May’2024, New Delhi: JustDeliveries, a new-age cold chain logistics startup redefining mid-mile logistics for India’s food and beverage sector, has raised ₹5.5 crore funding in a round co- led by VC Grid and NABVentures. Investors included LetsVenture, Anay Ventures, FAAD Network and others.

The capital infusion elevates JustDeliveries’ total funding to $2 million (approximately ₹15.9 crore), further enabling its mission to bring structure and reliability to India’s $200 billion logistics landscape, where 90% of operations remain unorganized and prone to inefficiencies. The funds will be used to enhance its technology capabilities and expansion into three new cities including Lucknow and Chennai. Currently it has its operations in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune.

Since its inception, JustDeliveries has emerged as a critical partner for over 100 F&B brands, including industry leaders like ITC, Swiggy, Blue Tokai, Biggies Burger, and Naturals Ice Cream. The company’s asset-light, plug-and-play third-party logistics (3PL) model addresses the acute challenges of transporting perishable goods across India’s vast and complex supply chains. Showing remarkable traction, JustDeliveries achieved a 2.4x year-over-year revenue growth in FY25, sustained by a 10.6% average monthly growth rate. The startup reached a pivotal milestone in December 2024 by attaining city-level profitability across all operational hubs – Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad – while maintaining negligible bad debts and industry-leading receivables turnaround times.

JustDeliveries has a strong leadership team and has recently elevated Pradeep Murugesan and COO and co- founder.

NABVENTURES is a venture growth equity fund that invests in agriculture, food, rural businesses and agri/rural financial services at early to mid-stage.NABVENTURES is excited to continue supporting JustDeliveries as they scale their innovative cold chain logistics solutions. Their impressive growth, focus on profitability, and strong client base underscore our confidence in their ability to transform the F&B supply chain landscape by driving efficiency and reducing wastage. NABVENTURES is pleased to be a part of their journey in building a more resilient food supply chain.” – Ashish Km Choudhury, CIO, NABVENTURES Ltd

VC Grid is a leading return-driven fund backed by Venture Catalysts, India’s leading integrated incubator and accelerator platform. Commenting on the investment, Vansh Oberoi from VC Grid, said, “JustDeliveries represents a rare convergence of operational discipline, scalable innovation, and market timing. In a sector traditionally burdened by high capital expenditure and fragmented service providers, Mansi and her team have engineered an asset-light platform that delivers consistent cold chain integrity while achieving early profitability, a feat that eludes most logistics startups. Their ability to maintain an impressive month-on-month growth in a competitive sector reflects both operational maturity and strategic foresight. We believe JustDeliveries is poised to become the backbone of India’s F&B logistics ecosystem. This investment aligns with our mission to back category-defining companies solving systemic challenges.”

Mansi Mahansaria, Founder of JustDeliveries, said, “When we launched JustDeliveries, we recognized that solving the gaps for the F&B industry required more than just infrastructure-it demanded a fundamental rethinking of logistics partnerships. By integrating technology with a flexible asset network, we have built a platform that scales with our clients’ needs while ensuring cost efficiency and reliability. We’re fortunate to have a set of investors who believe in building a valuable company on a strong foundation. This funding enables us to deepen our tech stack, become net profitable, and take our services to three new cities by FY26.”

With India’s cold chain logistics market projected to grow at a 23.5% CAGR through 2030, driven by rising demand for perishable foods and pharmaceuticals, JustDeliveries’ tech-enabled model addresses a critical infrastructure gap. The startup’s expansion into three additional cities will extend its geographic footprint to eight major hubs, aligning with client demands for pan-India distribution. 

 

Mother’s Day: KLAY’s Campaign Reminds Moms : “You’re Not Alone”

12th May, Bengaluru– Just in time for Mother’s DayKLAY Preschools and Daycare, one of India’s most trusted early education and childcare providers, has launched a digital campaign that gently challenges a long-standing cultural ideal: the notion of the doit-all” mom. Titled You dont need to do it alone,” the campaign is a tender, emotionally resonant tribute to the support systems that surround and uplift mothers, many of whom go unnoticed.

Conceptualized and produced in-house, the campaign film tells the story of a modern working mother, beginning with a rare moment of quiet as she sits on her yoga mat at dawn, grounding herself before a busy day. As she makes her way to work, viewers are invited into a stream of memory-like flashbacks of those who help carry her daily load. A partner gently rocking their child back to sleep. A cook carefully preparing a familiar meal. Grandparents singing rhymes over a video call. And a KLAY teacher, ready with open arms and a knowing smile at drop-off. 

Each frame is designed with subtlety and care, evoking the emotional complexity of motherhood: the quiet sacrifices, the unspoken help, and the small acts of love that hold a family together. The film closes on a powerful note as the mother arrives at work steady, confident, and composed not because she’s superhuman, but because she is seen, heard, and held by her village.

The campaign culminates with the line: You dont need to do it alone and the hashtag #ItTakesAVillage, inviting viewers to recognize and celebrate the broader ecosystem that makes parenting possible.

With its evocative storytelling and emotionally intelligent framing, the campaign speaks directly to millennial parents especially working mothers who are increasingly seeking balance, shared responsibility, and emotional support. By highlighting these everyday interactions, the film not only deepens KLAY’s connection with its core audience but also reflects a larger cultural shift toward inclusive, community-led parenting.

Speaking about the campaignShireen Sultana, Senior Vice PresidentMarketing, KLAY Pre-School and Daycare, said, “This campaign is a gentle reminder to every mother carrying the weight of doing it all, you were never meant to do it alone. At KLAY, we see the quiet strength it takes to show up every day, and we also see the village that makes it possible. This Mother’s Day, we honour not just the moms, but the love, care, and quiet support that holds them up.”

For a brand that already plays an integral role in supporting working parents offering high-quality early learning, flexible daycare options, and trusted caregivers the campaign is more than a marketing initiative; it’s a reflection of lived values. It underlines KLAY’s identity not just as a service provider, but as a partner in a parent’s journey.
