IPO Insight: Funding Growth & Expansion

Zinka’s upcoming IPO will include a fresh issue of ₹550 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) by promoters and investors, offering 21.61 million equity shares. The fresh issue is designed to fund sales and marketing efforts, with ₹200 crore allocated for this purpose. Additionally, ₹140 crore will be invested in Blackbuck Finserve Private Ltd to bolster its capital base for future growth, and ₹75 crore will be set aside for product development and general corporate purposes.

Several promoters and investors, including Rajesh Kumar Naidu Yabaji, Ramasubramanian Balasubramaniam, and Accel India, will offload shares through the OFS. Notable investors such as Quickroutes International, International Finance Corporation, and Sands Capital will also participate. If approved, a pre-IPO placement of up to 20% of the total fresh offering could be executed, potentially reducing the size of the fresh issue.

Financial Growth & Performance

Zinka Logistics has experienced impressive growth, processing a gross transaction value (GTV) of ₹17,396.19 crore in FY24, covering key expenses like tolls and fuel for truck operators. The company’s consolidated revenue from continuing operations surged by 69.01% to ₹296.92 crore in FY24, up from ₹175.68 crore in FY23. This growth is largely driven by an increase in the number of monthly transacting truck operators, resulting in higher commission income, subscription fees, and service fees.

As of March 31, 2024, Zinka had 1,783 permanent employees and 3,638 contract workers, while its platform expanded to over 963,345 truck operators, covering 27.52% of India’s operators—a significant jump from 482,446 in FY22. The BlackBuck app saw strong user engagement, with truck operators using the app for an average of 16.18 days per month and spending 39.56 minutes daily on the platform.

Competitive Landscape: Leading the Digital Transformation

India’s trucking industry is undergoing a significant shift, driven by tech-enabled companies like BlackBuck, Wheelseye, and FleetX, all of which are integrating and digitizing services traditionally offered in a fragmented manner. BlackBuck, Zinka’s flagship platform, is currently India’s largest digital freight solution, with a 32.92% market share in tolling and fuel payments in FY24. BlackBuck’s comprehensive services, physical network, and digital tools have solidified its position as a market leader, making it the go-to platform for truck operators.
