Porter, an on-demand goods transport agency (GTA), has raised $200 million in its Series F funding round led by Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management. The round also saw participation from existing investor, Vitruvian Partners.
The round included a mix of primary investment and secondary exits to a few existing shareholders.
The fresh funds raised will be used to expand its operations across multiple cities, aiming to serve millions of MSMEs and enable livelihood opportunities for over 1 million gig workers. Porter also plans to channel the capital into team expansion, technological development, and operational excellence.
Founded in 2014 by Pranav Goel, Vikas Chaudhary, and Uttam Digga, Porter offers a comprehensive suite of services including on-demand intra-city transport, packers and movers, and enterprise logistics solutions.
Porter offers services such as distance-based allocation, GPS tracking, and proactive notifications to empower its driver partners.
Uttam Digga, Co-Founder & CEO, Porter, said, “We are pleased to welcome Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management as our strategic partners. Since our inception, we have been committed to making urban logistics more efficient, intelligent, and inclusive — supporting MSMEs, empowering gig workers, and strengthening the communities we serve. With this, we look forward to accelerating our growth and building world-class, sustainable logistics solutions for businesses and communities across the globe. We would also like to acknowledge our early investors who played a pivotal role in supporting Porter’s growth journey, and we are deeply grateful for their unwavering support, guidance, and belief in our vision throughout this transformative period.”
Anant Gupta, Partner and Ashutosh Sardesai, Director at Kedaara Capital, said, “We are excited to partner with Porter, the undisputed leader in India’s intra-city logistics space. In a largely unorganized and underserved market, Porter has built a tech-first, asset-light platform that delivers seamless, reliable logistics solutions at scale. Their strong execution, deep market understanding, and unwavering focus on customer and partner experience have created significant network advantages. We look forward to supporting Uttam, Pranav, and the entire Porter team as they continue to drive innovation, empower driver-partners, and expand their leadership across India’s intra-city logistics ecosystem.”
Prakhar Singh, Asia Sector Lead, Wellington Management, said, “We admire Porter’s resilience and execution-first mindset, which has helped them create their leadership position in the intra-city logistics space. What sets them apart is how deeply they’re embedded in the ecosystem—organizing a largely unstructured market from within, using technology to create meaningful impact for MSMEs and gig workers. We’re excited to partner with them as they scale their purpose.”
Shailesh Lakhani, MD, Peak XV, said, “When our journey started with Porter 10 years ago, the company was one amongst many in local goods transport. Uttam, Pranav and Vikas were clear on their vision and approach and why it was the right one. Today the company is the market leader, and more importantly has made the process of sending goods reliable, more efficient and transparent in cities in India and now abroad. In the journey, their name has become a verb and to say ‘’I am Portering it” means the goods will be there soon. We wish the company and their new partners all the best and thank the Company and the management for the partnership.”
