(“KG”) Ganapathi, Vimaan’s Founder and CEO. Vimaan will use the funds to accelerate the addition of leading Fortune 500 companies to its customer base. “This investment will enhance our roster of blue-chip investors and customers, and further help build Vimaan’s reputation as a must have inventory management solution for all warehouses,” added Ganapathi.

“The purpose of the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund is to support emerging technologies through direct investments, designed to spur invention and solve for the world’s toughest challenges across customer fulfillment operations, logistics, and supply chain solutions,” said Katherine Chen, Head of the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund. “We are delighted to be making this investment in Vimaan.
