B2B delivery and shared mobility startup Zypp Electric raised $14 million shortly after the end of FY24, driven by consistent growth fueled by the rise of quick commerce and food delivery. The Gurugram-based firm reported a 2.6X increase in scale, with total revenue surpassing Rs 300 crore during the fiscal year ending March 2024. Zypp Electric’s revenue from operations surged to Rs 293 crore in FY24, up from Rs 109 crore in FY23, according to its standalone financial statements accessed by Entrackr from the Registrar of Companies. Founded by Akash Gupta and Rashi Agrawal in 2017, Zypp Electric is an EV-as-a-service platform offering electric vehicle rentals along with delivery services through its e-scooter fleet for gig workers. The company claims to have around 22,000 active vehicles in its fleet, with 15,000 in Delhi NCR, 4,000 in Bengaluru, and 1,200 in Mumbai. Income from vehicle rentals and delivery services was the primary revenue source for Zypp Electric. The company has not disclosed a breakdown of its revenue for FY24. However, in FY23, 76% of revenue came from delivery services, with the remainder from vehicle rentals. It also offers advertising solutions on its scooters and helmets, though it appears this has not yet generated significant revenue for the firm. Reflecting its growth, Zypp Electric’s total expenditure surged 2.6X to Rs 394 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 152 crore in FY23. Employee benefits and rent-repairs rose by 2.1X and 3.9X, respectively, in FY24. Zypp Electric didn’t disclose a detailed breakdown of other expenses, listing Rs 274 crore under miscellaneous, which likely includes payments to riders, legal fees, advertising, and other operational expenses.
