Zomato-backed e-commerce shipping platform Shiprocket announced its third buyout this year with the acquisition of a majority stake in Glaucus Supply Chain Solutions.
Following the acquisition, the two platforms will combine their strengths to take the complexity out of fulfilment challenges faced by traders, retailers and brands, Shiprocket said.
Founded in 2015 by Vivek Kalra, Nitin Dhingra, Mandeep Kanwal and Jayant Mahto, Glaucus provides enterprise-grade fulfillment services to mid-market brands supported by a combination of processes, geographic spread, quality reporting, and proprietary technology.
