About LoadShare
LoadShare is one of India's most innovative and resilient logistics platforms, transforming how goods move across the country. Founded in 2017, we've grown to become a pan-India, multi-category last-mile network with a unique presence in both Tier 1 metros and deep Tier 2/3 towns.
What sets us apart:
- Scale with depth: We handle ~550K deliveries/day across food, e-commerce (B2C), B2B retail, and digital commerce, powered by a 30,000+ rider network.
- Strong financials, stronger ambition: With 800+ Cr in FY26 revenue and support from global investors (Tiger Global, Matrix, BII, Stellaris, BeeNext), we have a long runway and a path to profitability.
- Dual-engine model: We not only operate India's most flexible last-mile delivery network, but also license our in-house logistics tech platform that processes an additional 20 lakh orders/day ,one of the few in India to enable asset cross-utilization across verticals.
- Strong Tech: We are in a unique position to cross-utilize the delivery boys across different
earning opportunities matching the peaks of various use-cases throughout the day. (ex: grocery peaks at 6-8 am, while bike taxi peaks from 8 to 10 am, etc). In addition to this, our supply chain SaaS platforms power over 1M+ shipments per day.
- Strategic partner to India's digital economy: We work with every major digital commerce player (ecomm, quick commerce, food, mobility) , and are expanding wallet share and capabilities within existing giants while co-creating new models with emerging platforms and brands.
- Built to scale profitably: We're not chasing GMV at all costs. We're building the most
capital-efficient, tech-enabled logistics engine in the country. We're now building for our next phase: a 5X scale-up over the next 5 years, anchored in sharper client focus, deeper solutions, and new growth engines.
