In 2014, they founded Blowhorn to address what they believed to be a grossly unorganized sector in India - the mini-truck drivers. The mini-truck transportation market in India is estimated to be between Rs 30,000 to 60,000 crore ($6.8 to 9.6 billion) annually.[5] The company has scaled to 160 employees and has aggregated 1.8 million mini-trucks in urban centres. The company closed its series A round of venture capital funding in March 2017, raising Rs 25 crore ($3.65 million) from IDG Ventures India, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation [6] and existing investors Draper Associates and Unitus Seed Fund.[5] The funds will be used in expanding Blowhorn's operations to eight other cities in the next 24 months, namely Kolkata, Kanpur and Indore, while aggregating 25,000 active drivers on a daily basis. [1] Blowhorn was the delivery partner for OnePlus mobile phones campaign in Bangalore wherein once the order for the handset placed through the Blowhorn mobile app was accepted, the handsets would be delivered to the customers within 60 minutes. [7] [8] [9] The company has also worked in partnership with Uber.[10] Blowhorn has a customer service training program for its mini-truck drivers, aimed at unemployed youth in India.
