Backstory:

Locus’ journey is quite an interesting story. What began as a women’s safety application is now a global last-mile logistics optimization platform. Back in 2015, Nishith Rastogi and Geet Garg developed RideShare, a geo-tracking application to improve women’s safety in cabs by tracking deviations from predefined routes. They soon noticed it was adopted by many new-age food delivery companies to manage their delivery personnel. After some research, they identified a significant opportunity to automate and improve decision-making in last-mile logistics. And in July 2015, Locus was born in a 2 BHK studio apartment in Bangalore.

Today Locus is a global organization bringing real-world growth through last-mile excellence for enterprises across industries and use cases. Some of our milestones have been:
2016: Raised Series A round funding from Exfinity Ventures and GrowX Ventures and launched our first two offerings: Route Planning and Control Tower (formerly Dispatch IQ and TrackIQ).
2018: Achieved a landmark of 10 million successful customer orders.
2020: Raised series B funding led by Falcon Edge and Tiger Global. Opened our first offices in North America and South East Asia.
2021: Raised Series C funding of $50 million led by GIC and Qualcomm Ventures and got recognized twice in a row as the Representative Vendor in various Gartner® Market Guides.
2022: Unveiled our real-world ready dispatch management platform, moving from product-based to platform-based offerings. Expanded our footprint to Mexico.
