Delhivery turned unicorn last year after it garnered over $400 million in a funding round led by SoftBank. As online orders surged amid the pandemic, logistics companies serviced bulk shipments. Delhivery plans to invest over Rs 300 crore on expansion in the coming 18-24 months, increasing its fleet size and setting up more mega trucking terminals.
