About Delhivery  

Delhivery was founded in 2011 by Sahil Barua and Mohit Tandon along with three others. It gets its earnings and profits by providing logistics services to ecommerce companies. The company’s founder in an interview said that Delhivery was on track to become profitable by fiscal 2018 and was also planning for a public offering.

Delhivery’s Target

Slow growth among smaller ecommerce players may delay Delhivery’s plans to reach profitability, but the company will reach its target, believe experts.

“The company is showing a growth in topline and shrinking losses,” said Harminder Sahni, MD of consulting firm Wazir Advisors. “They may reach profitability in three years instead of one.”
