Vdeliver.in – a startup that is changing the methodology of delivery

The easy access to and popularity of the internet has changed the way we do things. Right from shopping to education and even healthcare, the internet can be found everywhere. In the right manner it has turned the world into a global village and enabled the different business owners in reaching a larger audience. The rise in global ecommerce sales is recorded at 25% in the last quarter of 2015. This in turn has fueled a large number of logistics startups across the globe.

According to the researches conducted by eMarketer (a market research firm) consumers all over world have spent about $1.672 trillion online in 2015. This amount equals almost 7.3% of the overall retail sales all over the world. The research also says the online retail sales will be double that in the year 2019.

However, there is one problem with the online shopping which is that there are no logistics companies that undertake the delivery of anything and everything. Customers are not able to gauge the severity of the problem if they get the deliveries on time, but online retailers find it quite difficult to tie up with different logistics firms.

Mr. Hemachandra Reddy and Srinivas Madhavam rightly identified this problem. This happened when a food delivery customer asked Srinivas if he could get a designer wear from a fashion designer delivered urgently. This was the vacuum that Srinivas found in the local logistics space and ensured that she helped her customer by getting the dress delivered at a charge of Rs.300.

This in turn gave birth to the logistics startup Vdeliver which was initially only meant for food delivery. However, when Srinivas realised that there was a demand in the logistics area as well, he and his engineer friend Hemachandra converted Vdeliver into a fully integrated system of delivering anything that is legal.

The concept of Vdeliver is based on intercity logistics. Their delivery times are between 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM and they deliver anything that is not restricted by the government anywhere in the city of Hyderabad. The customers can place an order either on the official website or on the app which can be downloaded from Android playstore. The business customers get an API and back end admin Panel to ensure seamless deliveries on time.

The startups that are not being helped by banks are now being helped by Loanzen

Team LoanZen

The digitalization has brought up many startup but making it to the zenith is not an easy task. One of the main drawbacks is getting finance to run the startup. The banks need collaterals and other documents and requirements to grant loans which is sometimes very hard to get. The banks are very stringent in giving especially to asset light and fast growing internet business but these days peer to peer lending sites have come up to cater to this problem. One such startup is LoanZen which is based in Bangalore. This startup has seeded funds to Tracxn Labs and Tracxn Syndicate. LoanZen funds startups that are just three months old. These loans come from financial institutions that are non-banking and private companies. Both the lender and the borrower enter into tripartite agreement with LoanZen. Madhu Sudhan who is the CEO and Co-Founder of LoanZen is MBA from IIM Bangalore and worked as financial professional at KPMG, Capital 18 and Lizard before starting LoanZen said that small startups are rejected by banks and desperately need credit to grow and their mission is to enable these small businesses to succeed. LoanZen uses technological aid to quickly access the credibility based on credit history, cash flows, accounts and assign credit scores and this enables the lenders to get suitable borrowers in no time. While LoanZen takes listing fee of one percent, the lenders get point eight to ten percent per month depending on eligibility and credit score of borrowers.

The World Bank study tells that the size of unsecured short term loans amounts to 120 billion US dollars which is spread over twenty six million small businesses in India. For banks, processing large loans is more economical that processing short loans. This has become the successful idea for LoanZen.

20-year old entrepreneur youngest Indian on Forbes Asia 30 Under 30

Gamezop co-founders, Yashash and Gaurav Agarwal, have been selected in Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list. The list recognizes the work of 300 individuals (30 in 10 categories) under the age of 30 from the Asia Pacific. In addition, Yashash, at 20, is in the final semester of his Commerce degree at Shri Ram College of Commerce and the youngest amongst 56 Indians on the list. Other Indians on the prestigious list include sportspersons Virat Kohli, Saina Nehwal, and Sania Mirza and entrepreneurs Ritesh Agarwal (Oyo), Ankita Bhati (Olacabs), and Chinmay Malaviya (Foodpanda).

Forbes Asia stated, “Gamezop just closed $350K in seed funding with global investors, making Yashash one of the youngest in Asia to raise institutional investment.” Last month Gamezop had announced the round with a set of early stage funds and super angels.

A prize distribution ceremony will be organized in Singapore on 19th May. In addition, everyone on the list is invited to join the exclusive Forbes 30 Under 30 private app, where they can network with all others who have been on the 30 Under 30 globally. The Forbes 30 Under 30 is known to be one of the most exclusive clubs in the world.

The Delhi-based company aggregates short and addictive games from around the world, which can be played on a single app and removes the friction of constantly installing and uninstalling individual games. Although Android only at this point, all of the hundreds of games featured on the Gamezop app are device- and OS-agnostic and can be shared as weblinks for play on any smartphone, tablet, PC, or Smart TV. The company is building a product for global markets and is extending features to HTML5 game developers to get them on par with their native counterparts.

Gamezop Founders

Yashash Agarwal has been in the gaming business for two years now. “Content-light platform plays have been most scalable in the digital consumption space. Popular forms of digital entertainment, such as music or videos, already have platforms that serve as one-stop destinations. However, in gaming one only hears of individual titles. We are building a platform to make gaming reach the inflection point that the others have already witnessed,” he said.

Sri Peddu, MD of Powerhouse Ventures, has appreciated the careful selection of the target audience. “India isn’t a mature gaming market and most are still non-gamers who haven’t used gaming consoles. Gamezop with its snackable games is a crisp offering and targets those who would use their smartphones as their first gaming device.  It’s a segment that is poised to grow and the founders have the requisite product expertise.”

Gamezop has also been selected to represent India this April at the International Business Model Competition at Redmond, co-hosted by Microsoft, Harvard Business School, and Stanford Graduate School of Business. In May, they will travel to Silicon Valley for the global finals of the TiE International Startup Competition.
