Shiprocket Limited holds Corporate Identity Number U72900DL2011PLC225614 and is registered in New Delhi, with a corporate office in Gurugram, Haryana.
The company is professionally managed and does not have an identifiable promoter in terms of SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013. This structure differs from the promoter-led ownership seen in most Indian listed companies.
The company operates an e-commerce enablement platform providing merchants with an end-to-end operating system covering checkout, logistics, order fulfilment, returns, data analytics, and financing access.
As of Fiscal 2026, the company served 214,769 Active Merchants across product categories including beauty and personal care, apparel and footwear, and home décor and electronics. Its operations span two segments:
Core Business, comprising Domestic Shipping and Shipping Apps
Emerging Business, comprising cargo and fulfilment, a cross-border platform (ShiprocketX), ads and marketing solutions, and capital and hyperlocal delivery solutions
The company operates six direct subsidiaries and one step-down subsidiary, including Pickrr Technologies and Shiprocket Omuni, as of March 31, 2026.
Revenue for the Core Business and Emerging Business offerings comes from platform access and transaction services that are billed to merchants. Core Business accounted for 73.38% of Revenue from Operations in Fiscal 2026 against 82.42% in Fiscal 2024 as Emerging Business increased at a faster pace.
Revenue from Operations increased from ₹1,315.98 crore in Fiscal 2024 to ₹2,024.14 crore in Fiscal 2026. Emerging Business revenue grew 65.21% in Fiscal 2026 compared with the previous year, while Core Business revenue grew 13.74% over the same period.
The company ranked first among new-age end-to-end horizontal e-commerce enablement platforms registered in India by revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026, according to the Redseer Report. It also held the widest merchant base among platforms in this category with annual revenue exceeding ₹1 billion, per the same report (Source: RHP, citing Redseer Report).
The company’s top 250 Power Merchants in FY26 featured both digital-first firms and conventional offline-first brands shifting to e-commerce, showing demand across merchant types of various magnitudes.
Paras Healthcare allotment status updates, tracked separately under the healthcare IPO segment, follow a similar disclosure timeline once the price band and bidding dates for that issue are confirmed.
The e-commerce enablement industry in India is witnessing growth with the increased use of Direct Commerce in India as merchants aim to own all the data related to their customers and create a better brand recall beyond huge marketplaces. (Source: RHP citing Redseer Report). India had 300-320 mn internet shoppers in CY2025.
Key growth drivers for the sector include:
Rising merchant preference for Direct Commerce over marketplace-only selling
Government initiatives such as Digital India and Startup India supporting MSME growth
Increasing adoption of omni-channel and cross-border commerce strategies
Demand for integrated logistics, checkout, and fulfilment solutions in place of fragmented service providers
Growing use of AI-driven tools for pricing, fraud detection, and delivery optimisation
Merchants managing online commerce through multiple, disconnected service providers face added operational complexity, a challenge the Redseer Report identifies as a driver of demand for integrated platforms (Source: RHP, citing Redseer Report).

The platform processed data from more than 155 million end consumers and 730 million unique transactions between October 2016 and March 2026. This dataset supports AI-driven tools, including a returns-risk product that identified high-risk shipments with 83.01% accuracy in Fiscal 2026.

The company's cash conversion cycle stood at negative 10.34 days in Fiscal 2026, compared with negative 35.71 days in Fiscal 2024. A negative cash conversion cycle indicates the company collects from merchants faster than it pays its own obligations.

Revenue from Operations - core business represented 73.38% of total Revenue from Operations in Fiscal 2026. A decline in core business demand could affect a significant share of overall revenue.
