The commercial logistics market for Indian intra-city transportation is broken and ripe for disruption. Over 90% of intra-city return segments are driven empty and the average trip per truck per day is 1.There is no logistics marketplace that connects the linehaul segment supply and demand. Instead, thousands of legacy transport middlemen operate in this space mostly through telephone and face to face meetings. Solution: DGS operates a mobile, cloud-based, 2-sided B2B marketplace that connects Shippers/Enterprises, Drivers/Carriers and Distributors/Small Businesses.

Sagisu is in the process of launching operations in NYC. The intend there is to better experience in logistics in terms of Returns, Whiteglove deliveries, Scheduled pickups.

Testimonials

The wonderful thing about entrepreneurs is that their passion for starting new companies transcends languages and geographic boundaries. I felt very comfortable at SVOD and recognized its participants as having the same type of DNA that made Silicon Valley what it is today.

The SVOD conference was a wonderful event. Networking is very important for start-ups. The challenge for them is often not money: it is mentoring and finding people who can give good advice from experience.

It was great to present at SVOD and meet world-class entrepreneurs and investors. Our venture was off to a fast start in the funding round after the conference, we had an early closing to the round, and I look forward to being part of SVOD in the future!

The organizers here are doing an amazing job with selecting the people who attend, selecting the speakers, coming up with ideas for panels and discussions. The truly amazing side is that the audience gets bigger, more involved, active and more thoughtful. It’s just a fun place to be!

Thank you for the opportunity to present Driveway at SVOD. It gave us much needed exposure to the wide investor community. Combining the pitch preparation classes with the presentation content guidance, we came out strong and confident from the podium. During the conference we had a chance to speak to many investors and industry leaders resulting in a very valuable feedback.
