Founded in 2014 by Deepak Garg (CEO) and Gazal Kalra, Rivigo offers delivery services across India to retail, e-commerce, pharmaceutical, automobile and FMCG sectors.

The company says that its drivers travel shorter distances when compared to traditional logistics and delivery providers since it employs a relay-led trucking system. The company claims that it has over 5,000 trucks in its fleet operational across 4,000 cities in India; and also has over 2,00,000 verified fleet owners, operates via more than 70 pit stops and has completed half-a-million trips to date.

Rivigo notably entered the unicorn club in September 2019, after raising $4.9 million from KB Global in Series E round.
