Alternative financing platform GetVantage announced a strategic partnership with direct-to-customer (D2C) same-day delivery platform Zippee. This partnership is aimed at providing frictionless equity-free funding to high-growth-focussed D2C brands on its fulfillment platform while giving its own portfolio instant access to same-day deliveries for customers across India.
Gurugram-based start-up Zippee facilitates over 100 D2C businesses like Epigamia, Anveshan, Clinikally and The Face Shop to provide same-day deliveries to their customers across India. Brands connect their website to the Zippee platform in just a few clicks and can kickstart same-day deliveries across India in less than 7 days.
Speaking about the partnership, Madhav Kasturia, founder and CEO of Zippee, said, “We democratise Amazon-grade logistics for brands that want to sell more through their own online stores, have greater control over customer data, and offer solid post-purchase experiences to customers through same-day deliveries. A lot of them sign up for Zippee during their scale-up phase and can now leverage GetVantage’s ecosystem to supercharge that."
