Snapdeal invests $20 million in Gojavas

Online retailer Snapdeal put in $20 million (almost Rs 130 crore) in Gurgaon-based Gojavas. This is Snapdeal's second round of investment in this logistics start-up. Snapdeal described Gojivas as its" best performing last mile logistics partners". Snapdeal's investment comes in the wake of it trying to enhance its delivery timelines and has invested almost $100 million in the last 6 months.

Introduction
Gojavas makes a humble beginning

Gojavas was founded in 2013 as the logistics arm of e-tailer Jabong, to provide "reliable, time-bound logistics and supply-chain" solutions to its business associates. Gojavas was started by Vijay Ghadge with a team of 20 people. The company became a separate entity in late 2013; however, Jabong still accounted for as many as half of its 1 lakh shipments per day.

Data
Customers all around!

Gojavas caters to around 30,000 consumers in 85 cities everyday.

Gojavas snaps the deal, flips the cart

Gojavas, the logistics company, clinched Flipkart and Snapdeal as its newest clients. According to sources, Gojavas started delivering for Flipkart 3 months and Snapdeal 1 month ago. Prior to this, Gojavas was serving online fashion retailer Jabong (former parent) exclusively. Sources also revealed that presently, 30-40% of the company's business was coming from outside of Jabong.

Gojavas lets you 'try before you buy'

Gojavas started a 'try-before-you-buy' programme in the e-retail business. Under this scheme, the customers are allowed to try out their product before "accepting or returning it" and the delivery boys wait till they do that. However, this service came with a 30-40% premium price and hence the response had been mixed. Lenskart was the first to make use of this with Gojavas.

Information
Other 'try-before-you-buy' variants

A similar version of the try-before-you-buy service called Go Open was adopted by Jabong and DonebyNone, which allowed buyers to "open the packets before making payments".
