  • The Deal at a Glance


    | Item | Detail |

    | --- | --- |

    | Company | OORJAA |

    | Headquarters | Mumbai, Maharashtra |

    | Round | Series A (first close) |

    | Amount | ₹9.7 crore |

    | Lead | Equentis Angel Fund |

    | Announced | September 2, 2026 |


    What Datashastra Does


    The platform runs as a control tower over freight movement: tracking shipments across carriers, flagging exceptions before they become delays, and automating the follow-up work that logistics teams otherwise do over phone calls. The funding goes into product and technology development, expanding the stack, and strengthening control-tower and automation capability.


    Why This Is a Watchlist Name


    Indian freight is enormous, fragmented and still substantially coordinated over WhatsApp and phone. Software that reduces coordination cost sells on hard savings rather than on aspiration — but it has to survive long enterprise sales cycles, which is exactly what a first close of a larger round is meant to fund.


    Questions Readers Ask


    How much did OORJAA raise?


    ₹9.7 crore, about $1 million, as the first close of a Series A round announced on September 2, 2026.


    Who led the OORJAA round?


    Equentis Angel Fund, with Inflection Point Ventures participating.


    What had OORJAA raised earlier?


    $1.5 million in a pre-Series A round in September 2023, led by Micello Fund.


    Why It Matters


    Small logistics-software rounds are a useful early signal of where enterprise budgets are moving. Control-tower software is being bought now because shippers are paying for reliability rather than for the lowest freight rate.
