Overview

GoKwik offers a suite of integrated e-commerce SaaS products that help merchants set up online stores, enable checkout and payments, manage returns and cash-on-delivery, and run commerce via WhatsApp. Its integrated approach encourages customers to adopt multiple products (on average at least two), which the company says has helped drive retention and cross-sell. GoKwik serves more than 12,000 paying merchants across India, Europe, the UK, and the U.S., and reports over $30 million in ARR, up ~20% year-over-year from $25 million. The platform has processed a cumulative $2 billion in gross merchandise value, with 55% of transactions prepaid and 45% cash-on-delivery; 80% of prepaid payments are via India’s UPI. GoKwik plans to use new funding to expand into markets with strong WhatsApp usage (including Germany, France, and Latin America), deepen AI capabilities across its products, and build a global checkout integrating Stripe and other international payment processors. The company has roughly 400 employees, offices in Gurugram and Bengaluru, a handful of staff in the UK, a runway of 60–70 months with about $35–$37 million in the bank, and is targeting profitability within 18 months and an IPO in 3–5 years.
