Xportel, a tech-first platform enabling Indian businesses to go global, has raised undisclosed funding in its seed round.
The funding was co-led by Rukam Sitara and Flipkart Ventures, with participation from Venture Catalysts and angel investors.
Founded by Anshul Mahindru, Darpan Lamba, and Sanchit Narang, Xportel helps Indian SMEs and digital-first brands expand internationally.
The capital will be used to enhance tech capabilities, operations, sales teams, and product innovation.
Xportel aims to automate compliance workflows, customs documentation, and post-shipment tracking to streamline the export journey for Indian businesses.
The startup envisions creating a cross-border ecosystem for pre-order processes to post-order logistics.
Its goal is to make exports as easy as domestic selling for Indian businesses.
Xportel aligns with India's aim to boost exports, focusing on MSMEs and digitally native brands.
The government's target of $2 trillion in total exports by 2030 has led to a focus on empowering small and medium businesses.
Indian MSMEs face challenges in exports due to fragmented documentation and limited access to international buyers.
Xportel digitizes the export workflow to simplify compliance, paperwork, booking, and shipment tracking.
The platform aims to be a comprehensive solution for India's next generation of global sellers.
