The money raised from the issue will be utilised to fund sales and marketing costs, invest in its NBFC subsidiary, fund product development expenditure, and for general corporate purposes. Its shares will be listed on the NSE and BSE.

Incorporated in 2015, Zinka Logistics Solutions Limited is India’s largest digital platform for truck operators as of FY24.

It operates the BlackBuck app and offers payments, telematics, a loads marketplace, and vehicle financing services to truck operators. It provides tolling solutions in partnership with FASTag partner banks and fuelling solutions in partnership with multiple oil marketing companies (OMCs). It also offers real-time visibility into fleet movements, matches truck operators with load shippers, and offers financing solutions to buy used commercial vehicles.

The company generates its revenue through commissions from FASTag Bank partners and OMCs in fueling transactions. It also generates revenue from monthly or annual subscription fees for its telematics solutions and service fees from our vehicle financing offering.

Between FY22 and FY24, it saw a CAGR rise of over 35% in its revenue from operations. However, it has consistently incurred losses amassing ₹284 crore, ₹290 crore, and ₹193 crore in FY22, FY23, and FY24, respectively. Nevertheless, the Indian trucking sector is a $18 to $25 billion revenue pool in FY24 and is expected to reach $35 billion by FY28, which could indirectly benefit the company.
