The company plans to utilise the funds for strengthening its technology platform and enhancing operational capabilities, Jumbotail said in a statement. Jumbotail will also expand its team, but details of the same were not disclosed.
The Bengaluru-headquartered firm has previously received a funding of US $2 million from NVP.
Founded in November 2015, Jumbotail serves thousands of wholesale customers such as kirana stores and HORECA (hotel/restaurant/cafe) businesses in Bengaluru.
Jumbotail provides services including storefront delivery and payments collection for its sellers as well as working capital credit from third-party credit providers.
Manufacturers and brands can instantly get direct and highly targeted access to thousands of retailers and institutional customers through the Jumbotail platform without needing to invest in expensive physical distribution networks, Co-founder and COO, Jumbotail, Ashish Jhina said.
“About 98 per cent of India’s food and grocery consumption is via kirana stores. Jumbotail brings technology centric innovation to address massive inefficiencies in terms of product discovery, distribution costs, stock outs, and pricing,” Kalaari Capital Partner Bala Srinivasa said.
