Grab.in (formerly Grab a Grub) provides third-party last‑mile delivery services to restaurants, e‑commerce companies, retailers, grocers, pharmacies, food‑tech platforms, banks and other merchants. The startup was launched in 2012 by Pratish Sanghvi, Nishant Vora, and Jignesh Patel and is based in Mumbai. It operates in 23 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, serves over 3,300 merchants and reports 8.92 million deliveries to date. Its client roster includes Snapdeal, Jio, Paytm, Foodpanda, Patanjali Ayurved, McDonald's and Zomato. The company is backed by investors including Oliphans Capital, Zomato and Haresh Chawla (India Value Fund Advisors). Grab.in competes in the last‑mile hyperlocal delivery segment with players such as Shadowfax and Opinio. Grab is a Mumbai-based hyperlocal logistics service provider that connects users to restaurants for on-demand deliveries. Launched in 2012, the company operates a fleet of over 500 riders and connects users to more than 350 restaurants. It reported having delivered orders worth Rs 35 crore in Mumbai for the year ended March 31, 2015. Grab counts QSR chains Pizza Hut, Burger King and Subway and fine-dining chains Mainland China, Oh! Calcutta and Punjab Grill among its clients. The company has raised outside funding, including a roughly $1 million round from Oliphans Capital and Haresh Chawla in April and a recent co-investment involving Zomato. With Zomato on board, investors have suggested the relationship could become strategic and enable expansion of hyperlocal deliveries beyond food into categories such as groceries and healthcare.
