Leadership Insights:

"Our goal is to create a sustainable, tech-driven logistics system that increases fleet usage while reducing environmental impact," said Ankush Sharma, Co-Founder and CEO of Pickkup. 

Neeraj Tyagi, Co-Founder and CEO of We Founder Circle, expressed confidence in the investment, mentioning their previous successful investments in logistics companies like Zypp Electric, Evify, and Traqo.

The company plans to make the most of its electric vehicles by ensuring they stay operational for as many hours as possible each day, taking advantage of the lower running costs of electric vehicles.

Pickkup was founded by Ankush Sharma, Chandra Shekhar, and Upma Sharma. The company is entering a growing logistics market where sustainability is becoming more important. The Indian logistics sector has experienced significant growth, especially in the last-mile delivery segment, driven by the rise of e-commerce and quick commerce services.

This investment comes at a time when India is encouraging more electric vehicle use in commercial sectors to cut pollution and meet climate goals. Government initiatives, such as subsidies for electric commercial vehicles and better charging infrastructure, are creating a more supportive environment for companies like Pickkup that focus on sustainable logistics.
