We’re super stoked to announce our latest Series A investment in ClickPost! 

ClickPost is an all-in-one logistics management platform that enables online retailers to seamlessly control, manage and optimize omnichannel shipping and post-purchase experience for their customers through data-driven insights.

The investment is rooted in our belief that as the e-commerce story unfolds rapidly, brands will continue to seek to differentiate through excellence in post-purchase service, while also wanting to unlock internal efficiencies by leveraging intelligent digital logistics infra. 

Naman Vijay, Prashant Gupta, and the super talented ClickPost team have tackled this multi-faceted problem head-on, and structurally scaled ClickPost into a powerful product that serves a clutch of marquee logos including Nykaa, Puma, 1mg, Sugar, Supertails, Acer, Pepe Jeans.. and 300+ others.

We’re thrilled to be part of this journey with Naman, Prashant and the ClickPost team!
