In a major boost to India’s cross-border trade and logistics ecosystem, Bengaluru-based venture capital firm 3one4 Capital has led a $10 million funding round in Xindus, a startup aiming to revolutionize global supply chains for Indian exporters.
The funding marks a pivotal moment for the Gurugram-headquartered Xindus, which is focused on simplifying international logistics for small and mid-sized Indian businesses. The round also saw participation from other notable investors, positioning Xindus as one of the most promising players in India’s growing logistics-tech space.
Bridging India to the World
Xindus, founded in 2022, is building a platform that helps Indian manufacturers and exporters navigate the complex landscape of cross-border shipping, customs, compliance, and payments. The startup’s goal is to eliminate friction in global trade for Indian businesses — many of whom face operational hurdles, lack of visibility, and fragmented service providers when trying to export abroad.
By offering a full-stack platform that integrates freight forwarding, documentation, tracking, and analytics, Xindus is turning traditional, manual logistics processes into digital workflows — enabling faster, more cost-effective international shipping.
3one4 Capital Backs the Cross-Border Vision
3one4 Capital’s decision to lead the round signals strong conviction in the future of logistics-tech and India’s export potential. With government initiatives like Make in India and PLI schemes boosting manufacturing, the demand for smart logistics solutions is rising.
“India’s exporters are sitting on a global opportunity, but outdated supply chain infrastructure holds them back,” said a 3one4 Capital spokesperson. “Xindus is tackling this head-on with a tech-first approach that streamlines complexity and puts Indian businesses on a level playing field globally.”
What’s Next for Xindus?
With the fresh capital, Xindus plans to expand its engineering team, build out its product capabilities, and scale operations across key export hubs in India. The company also aims to deepen integrations with customs, trade partners, and logistics service providers across markets like the U.S., Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Xindus is targeting exporters in textiles, leather goods, handicrafts, and lightweight manufacturing — sectors where India has strong competitive advantages but often lacks efficient access to global buyers.
The Bigger Picture
Logistics has long been one of the biggest pain points in India’s export economy, and startups like Xindus are redefining what’s possible. With digital-first tools, transparent pricing, and real-time shipment insights, they’re empowering even small manufacturers to go global.
As India eyes a $2 trillion export target over the next decade, innovations like Xindus may well become the backbone of that vision — and 3one4’s investment underscores just how high the stakes (and potential returns) are.
