Top 50 Newsmakers of India - 2019

A YourStory list of startups that made the news this year for all the right reasons.

This year, Udaan reached many new milestones. It secured funding of $585 million from existing and fresh investors in an environment not really conducive for large paycheques. The startup’s growth, since it began operations in 2017, has actually opened up newer vistas that gives it a strong foot-hold for the creation of services such as fintech, warehousing, and logistics among others. The startup aimed to use the new funds to grow the marketplace, go deeper into existing categories, and invest in core capabilities like its tech marketplace platform, fulfilment and delivery, lending, and payments. Focused on horizontal B2B ecommerce, Udaan currently has operations across lifestyle, home and kitchen, staples, fruits and vegetables, FMCG, toys, and general merchandise. The platform helps SMEs like small manufacturers, brands, mills, and farmers to sell their products across the country at a low cost.
