Zypp’s revenue increased three times in FY24 with Rs 325 crore. The company claims to have branches in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru and expanded into parts of Hyderabad and Mumbai. The company offers a platform to food-delivery platforms and quick commerce, bike taxis, and other deliveries. Akash Gupta said that the company is working on expansion and will use this fund to scale up its operations, enhance its technology, and enhance its platform to offer seamless service.
Eneos highlighted that the reason behind a $15 million investment is the skyrocketing of the last-mile delivery market in India. Zypp is already positioned well in the EV motorcycle delivery market, and its competitiveness is an addition. Founded in 2017 by Rashi Agarwal and Akash Gupta, Zypp Electric provides electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries to local merchants and e-commerce companies. This startup competes with Baaz Bikes, Euler Motors, Yulu, and Zen Mobility.
