DailyNinja buys WakeupBasket

Hyperlocal delivery startup DailyNinja has acquired Hyderabad based WakeupBasket in a cash and equity deal. This is DailyNinja's second acquisition; it had bought Hyderabad-based 4amshop in August.

DailyNinja runs a grocery and milk delivery service. It operates both a marketplace and an inventory-led model, and earns revenue from subscriptions. The startup last raised funding in June. It secured $3 million (around Rs 20 crore) in a Series A funding round led by new investor Saama Capital. Existing investor Sequoia Capital had also put in money.
Besides Bengaluru, DailyNinja delivers in Hyderabad and Chennai as well. It fulfills 3,500 orders a day, the statement said. WakeupBasket, operated by Crocksys Technologies Pvt. Ltd, was founded in 2015. It provides morning delivery of household essentials like DailyNinja, besides selling milk and groceries on its platform. The Hyderabad-based startup had raised a seed round from various angel investors and has grown to fulfill 2,500 orders a day.

In January, Gurgaon-based micro-delivery grocery startup Milkbasket raised $3 million (around Rs 19 crore) in funding from Unilever Ventures, the investment arm of consumer goods giant Unilever. Doodhwala, a subscription-based milk and daily essentials delivery startup, secured $2.2 million (Rs 14.27 crore) from impact venture fund Omnivore in February.
