PepperTap Raises Funds from Sequoia Capital. Pass me the pepper.

Pep’ it up.

Grocery Delivery service, PepperTap raises an undisclosed sum from Sequoia Capital as seed fund. The funding will be used to expand the team and its operations by the end of the year. 

Navneet Singh and Millind Sharma were tired of boring, weekly trips to the supermarket, clearly. And ta-da, PepperTap was born. Before this the duo established NuvoEx, a reverse logistics company. And going back a little further, they were at Delhivery together. So it’s safe to say they know their e-commerce space well. 

“Operating from a 200 sq. ft. office initially, we have come a long way. 28th of November 2014, was when we launched our operations and surprisingly got our first customer the same day. The over-whelming feeling of having delivered on our promises and customer’s support since then has made us bolder and made us better by the day. So much so, that today we can call ourselves “The fastest on-demand grocery delivery platform in India” with pride,” says their website. 

Right now they operate in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR. This round of funding follows Big Basket’s $32M funding from last year.
