In 4 years of operations, the company had established a network of 4000+ registered customers and the last reported annual turnover of the company was over Rs 2.5 crore.
The company, PSR Supply Chain had created a niche for itself in the Bangalore market with a dedicated user base. “The acquisition of PSR Supply Chain helps us in further strengthening our customer base and offerings in Bangalore.

Launched in early 2015, Milkbasket is a pioneer and market leader in the daily grocery delivery space. Built on the unique Indian habit of getting fresh milk delivered at home every morning, Milkbasket (accessible on milkbasket.com, iOS, and Android) is today fulfilling the entire grocery needs of a household every day before 7:00 a.m.
The company has built a new-age technology platform to enable frequent and frictionless buying with unique features like one-click buying, no checkout and contactless delivery – all a first in the e-commerce industry – and favorites of Milkbasket customers.
Having achieved positive unit economics within the first six months of the launch, Milkbasket is the most capital-efficient model in the online grocery space as compared to its domestic and global peers. Milkbasket has raised close to $26 million in equity funding from Mayfield India, Beenext, Kalaari Capital, Unilever Ventures, Lenovo Capital (LCIH), Blume Ventures, few family offices and $2.2 million in debt funding led by Innoven Capital till date.
