"The logistics industry plays a pivotal role in virtually every business. However, it remains largely unorganised due to its multifaceted and uncontrolled factors. OORJAA has embarked on a transformative journey to address these challenges, providing end-to-end automation solutions for diverse delivery requirements," said Mitesh Shah, co-founder, IPV.

OORJAA will use the funding for scaling the PiE KART platform, technology development, and expanding the team.

The company launched the app-based product PiE KART recently, which offers intra-city delivery solutions. It accomplishes this by employing shared trucks for same-day delivery, catering specifically to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

"With this Round 2 funding and the recent launch of PiE KART, we are entering the next phase of our expansion. Our commitment is to revolutionise last-mile and mid-mile logistics through advanced technology," commented Sandeep Patil, CEO & co-founder of OORJAA.
