Our Investment Thesis

Celcius is a cold chain logistics platform solving the critical gaps in India’s temperature-controlled supply chain. Despite the rapid growth of sectors such as dairy, seafood, meat, pharmaceuticals, and fresh produce, India faces massive inefficiencies due to fragmented infrastructure, lack of reliable transport, and poor visibility across the cold chain. These challenges result in significant wastage, revenue loss, and limited access to quality perishables and medicines.

Celcius addresses this by offering a tech-enabled marketplace that aggregates and optimizes cold chain resources, including refrigerated vehicles, cold storage facilities, and last-mile delivery services. Through its digital platform, businesses can access on-demand, reliable, and cost-effective cold chain capacity without having to invest in their own infrastructure.

The platform also integrates IoT and data-driven monitoring to ensure end-to-end visibility, compliance, and quality assurance. This allows clients to track temperature, route, and delivery status in real time, minimizing spoilage and enhancing operational efficiency.

With a focus on solving systemic inefficiencies, Celcius caters to enterprises, SMEs, and startups across the food and pharma sectors. By modernizing cold chain logistics and making it accessible at scale, Celcius is positioned to reduce wastage, improve consumer access to safe products, and capture a large opportunity in India’s growing supply chain market.
