Mumbai/Nashik: In
a bid to expand its reach in the state of Maharashtra, India's fastest-growing
technology-enabled freight forwarding startup- Freightwalla aims to tap
manufacturing units in Nashik. This will be the company’s first foray outside
Mumbai within the state. After raising seed capital funding of INR 5 crores from
Kae Capital and Tekton Ventures in December 2018, Freightwalla witnessed a
staggering 700 per cent rise in the shipment volumes and revenue.
Nashik has
seen an exponential upsurge in the manufacturing sector lately and has been on
the growth radar since the past few years. Agro-based products, automobiles and
auto parts, processed foods, medical and health care products, wines etc. are
some of the items which get exported from the region in higher volumes round
the year and require freight forwarding solutions.
Mr. Sanjay
Bhatia, CEO – Freightwalla said, “Nashik has become one of
the prime locations for manufacturing companies in the past decade. Also,
recently there have been some promising policies and initiatives which have
been implemented by the government because of which we have witnessed some
astonishing growth in small and medium sized manufacturing enterprises in the
region, and that’s where we see an opportunity for our first step to expand our
reach outside Mumbai within the state of Maharashtra.”

forwarding processes to improve the cost & time efficiency, while also

charges, intelligent real-time cargo tracking and updates, data-driven decision
making are some of the upgraded USPs which will auger well for the ever-increasing
