[Funding alert] Fleet management startup Fleetx.io raises $2.8M in Series A round

Gurugram-based fleet management and predictive analytics platform FleetX.io has raised $2.8 million in a Series A round of funding led by Singapore-based Beenext alongside existing investor India Quotient. 

The round also saw participation from Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, Rajesh Ranavat (MD, LiFung Capital), and Rohan Ranavat (Investor, Temasek Holdings). 

The startup earlier raised a pre-series A round last year from IndiaQuotient and LetsVenture. Fleetx said it will use the fresh funds for scaling in India and other markets, strengthening product and technology and hiring talent. 

Vineet Sharma, CEO and Co-founder, Fleetx, said,

"Our mission is to build an operating system for the fleet and logistics industry which gives real time visibility of end-to-end operations and helps fleet owners in reducing the operations cost and increase productivity by leveraging artificial intelligence, IoT, and big data technology. Our suite of products also provide real-time actionable insights in logistics operations to large enterprise shippers and companies."
