Exclusive: Shiprocket converts to public entity ahead of 2025 IPO Logistics and supply chain enabler Shiprocket is gearing up for a definitive initial public offering (IPO) plan in 2025, taking its first major step toward public listing by converting it into a public entity. The board at Shiprocket has approved a resolution to change its status to a public company and rename it from “Shiprocket Private Limited” to “Shiprocket Limited”, as per its regulatory filing. The conversion into the public entity has come a month after raising $26 million in its Series E round led by KDT Ventures, with participation from MUFG Bank, Tribe Capital, and SAI Global. The company will likely raise more capital in its pre-IPO round. Shiprocket reportedly plans to raise between Rs 2,000-2,500 crore through its IPO, which will include both primary components and an offer for sale (OFS). According to media reports, the company has enlisted Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra, JM Financial, and BofA Securities as its investment bankers for the offering. Founded by Saahil Goel, Gautam Kapoor, and Vishesh Khurana, Shiprocket is a logistics and supply chain platform that enables businesses to streamline shipping through courier integration, real-time tracking, and automated solutions. Shiprocket has raised over $320 million to date and is valued at $1.21 billion. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Bertelsmann Nederland B.V is the largest external stakeholder followed by Tribe. Zomato, Temasek, LightRock, and Paypal are other notable investors in Shiprocket. During the fiscal year ending March 2024, the company recorded a 21% year-on-year increase in revenue, reaching Rs 1,316 crore, while its losses stood at Rs 595 crore for the same period. It competes with Unicommerce which recently acquired Shipway, along with other players such as Shipyard.
