This investment further validates LetsTransport?s potential and underscores the confidence investors have in the company?s disruptive vision. LetsTransport?s plug and play platform allows it to offer its clients multiple assets across use cases in last-mile, mid-mile, and EV space. The company is one of the largest aggregators of commercial EVs in India. Along with tremendous growth, LetsTransport has also been able to deliver SLAs of above 97% consistently for its clients. The substantial investment will be instrumental in expanding its market presence, accelerating the company's journey to profitability, and enhancing its already robust suite of logistics services. Further in our mission to improve our truckers? lives we are launching products to empower truckers with their ancillary needs. The company is already profitable at a City EBITDA level and with this raise, it?ll be on track to achieve PAT breakeven by 2025.

Rohit Sood, Partner, Bertelsmann India Investments says, ?Ever since we first partnered with LetsTransport in early 2018, Pushkar and his team have shown incredible resilience and achieved impressive results, especially during the Covid challenges.
