With $10 million, PepperTap looks to tap other cities

on

PepperTap, an online grocery delivery store may soon be coming to your city, as it announced today that it has secured $10 million in funding from Sequoia Capital and SAIF Partners, a multi-stage investment firm.

PepperTap now joins the ranks of other online grocery delivery stores like Grofers and ZopNow, which recently declared large amounts of funding. PepperTap also faces competition from more established websites that provide the same service such as Big Basket and LocalBanya. However, Navneet Singh, PepperTap’s founder claims that it gains an edge because of his background in logistics.
