Founded in 2015, Shadowfax was an e-commerce-focused logistics company but the company evolved into a full-fledged logistics solution covering hyperlocal and quick commerce capabilities.

It competes with the likes of Delhivery, Rapido, Dunzo and other traditional logistics companies.

While Delhivery had recently gone public and currently has a market capitalisation of $5.38 billion, Rapido cornered a $180 million round led by Swiggy at a valuation of $800 million in April this year. Reliance had acquired a 26% stake in Dunzo for $200 million in January.
