Company Background

Shiprocket Ltd. was first registered under the name of Bigfoot Retail Solutions Private Ltd. The company then underwent successive name changes as per its developing brand and finally arrived as “Shiprocket Limited” in February of 2025 after the conversion to a public limited company.

Shiprocket has its headquarters in Sultanpur, New Delhi and its corporate office in Gurugram, Haryana. The company has changed its business model multiple times to not just being a simple shipping aggregator, but also a complete technology solution for e-commerce business for the MSME and digital retailers in India, to enable them sell directly to consumers across multiple channels.

Operations and Product Range

The Shiprocket Ltd. business model revolves around the creation of an integrated technology solution for automation of the entire e-commerce value chain for merchants. The activities of the company can be schematically structured across two major segments:

• Core Business: The domestic shipping platform and shipping apps, which offer end-to-end logistics services across India. The platform employs an AI-based order management and logistics provider allocation system.
• Emerging Business: This business vertical encompasses the cargo business, cross-border shipping and fulfillment services which enable Indian merchants to access global marketplaces.

The company also provides specialized shipping tools, such as Shiprocket Checkout, which simplifies the payment integration process for merchants and Shiprocket Capital, which, through partnerships with Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), provides working capital to merchants.

Shiprocket Ltd. primarily targets small and medium-sized businesses, as well as digitally native brands who are looking to build an online retail presence as quickly as possible.

Facilities and Capacity

Shiprocket Ltd.’s technology-first approach, as an asset-light company, offers the company the flexibility of building and managing its capacity more effectively than traditional manufacturing firms. Therefore, the company’s digital capability, as opposed to its physical capacity, is a defining feature. The company’s digital capacity is supported by the company’s multi-tenant cloud system which facilitates the company’s digital infrastructure and offers scalability and reliability.

As of September 30, 2025, the company has 342 specialists in the product and technology teams focused on the maintenance and improvement of the platform. While they do not own their own manufacturing plants, the company’s operations and manufacturing is complemented by a strong manufacturing and distribution network of ecosystem partners and fulfillment centers which enables the company to efficiently reach and fulfill a large number of transactions.

Brands and Market Presence

The Shiprocket brand is a well-known brand in the Indian e-commerce ecosystem and it is recognized as a trusted partner to independent sellers. Apart from domestic shipping, the company has extended its operations beyond the Indian market through various sub-brands and niche offerings such as Shiprocket Omuni for omnichannel retail and Shiprocket Co-Pilot, an AI assistant for sellers.

In the Indian market, Shiprocket Ltd. has a strong presence and is recognized for serving millions of end-customers via its network of merchants. For the six months ending September 30, 2025, the platform had processed an estimated ₹1.498 crore end-customers for the first time, indicating a strong repeat consumer base of 64.56%.

Revenue Streams and Business Model

This company follows an asset-light business model where revenue is primarily generated through professional fees and service charges. Key revenue streams include:

• Charged for shipping and logistics services managed through the platform.
• Merchants pay for access to advanced tools (like subscription), shipping apps and marketing solutions.
• Earnings from capital solutions and ad-marketing spend as a percentage of the transaction or spend value.

Shiprocket’s business model is increasingly diversified. While domestic shipping remains the core revenue driver, "Emerging Business" segments like fulfillment and international shipping are becoming important contributors to the overall growth.
