Those who do not know, tell them that Porter is a logistics company that acts like a Uber. In the same way Uber takes humans and goods from one place to another, similarly the truck is booked on the Porter app. Book the truck from the porter and send your luggage from one place to another. This is an app that gives both individuals and businesses to carry goods at the time of need to carry goods.
In 2014, Porter was started by three IIT friends. Actually, these three friends got the idea after seeing the “Uber for X” model. But before starting the work, he understood and studied well about the successful business models of companies like Uber. However, he realized that there is a big opportunity for it in the logistics sector. He saw that there is a lack of delivery services in the region. It is from here that he was involved in starting his company.
Using their IIT background, the three companions Pranav Goyal, Uttam Digga and Vikas Chaudhary started the Porter. So in this way the foundation of one of the top truck-booking platforms of India was laid.
And this is just the beginning. His goal is to create the world’s best end-to-end logistics platform and change the future of transport logistics completely. On May 8, 2025, the company got the status of unicorn after its price was between $ 1.1 billion to $ 1.2 billion in the company’s latest funding round.
Why has Porter become so popular?
All this is about simplicity and efficiency. In a few clicks, users can easily book trucks, establish a new standard for convenience in logistics.
