India-based B2B and ecommerce logistics startup ElasticRun operated by Ntex Transportation Services Pvt. Ltd. has secured US$300 million in its Series E funding round led by Japan’s SoftBank Group. The financing round was also joined by Goldman Sachs and existing investor Prosus Ventures.

With the latest funding round, ElasticRun has attained a valuation of about US$1.4 billion and becomes the seventh Indian unicorn in 2022.  The company’s valuation has jumped over 3x as it was valued at US$400 million during its previous funding round in April 2021 when it had raised US$75 million from existing investors including Prosus Ventures, Avataar Ventures, and Kalaari Capital.

According to the company, SoftBank has invested through its affiliate SVF II Eagle LLC nearly US$180 million. It also marks SoftBank’s first Indian investment this year. SoftBank now owns 14 percent stake in the company. Prosus Ventures infused about US$54.79 million and Goldman Sachs invested US$30.14 million and US$4.64 million in this funding round.

ElasticRun plans to use the fresh funding for the expansion and growth of its operations.
