GoJavas serves eCommerce firms like HealthKart, Jabong, Yepme and Lenskart and covers over 2,500 pincodes in the country.
Snapdeal in a bid to strengthen its delivery operations in India is looking to acquire the former logistics arm of Jabong 'GoJavas' for $32 million (Rs 150-200 crore), according to a PTI report.
This deal will come as the eighth acquisition by the eCommerce firm. In February 2015, Snapdeal acquired luxury fashion products discovery site, Exclusively.in and in January 2015, Snapdeal acquired a stake in product comparison website Smartprix.com.
GoJavas serves eCommerce firms like HealthKart, Jabong, Yepme and Lenskart and covers over 2,500 pincodes in the country.
Founded in February 2010, Snapdeal so far received six rounds of funding from Nexus Venture Partners, Indo-US Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, eBay, Kalaari Capital, Intel Capital, Saama Capital, Blackrock, Temasek Holdings and PremjiInvest. Snapdeal received $627 million in its sixth round of funding in October 2014 from Softbank.
Currently, it does not have a captive delivery arm and relies on third-party logistics. The City-based e-commerce firm, which raised about $1 billion last year, including $627 million from Japan's SoftBank, has been scouting for acquisitions in mobile technology and supply chain space.
The total sale of products Snapdeal has touched Rs 2000 crore ($310 million) in the fiscal year 2013-14. In June 2014, Snapdeal had achieved the milestone of 1,000 sellers on its platform rasing the sales number upto Rs 1 crore.
