"There's not much going in ecommerce logistics, while there's a lot going on in the B2B space, which is one generation behind. This is why we want to take the ecommerce sophistication and apply it to B2B conventional logistics," said Raghu Talluri, chief executive of Loadshare. Talluri was with fashion ecommerce company Myntra prior to launching Loadshare last year. "Enterprises are looking to replicate the tech-led innovations they are seeing in ecommerce logistics which has created an opportunity for startups to expand into B2B logistics which is 15-20 times larger than the B2C logistics market today," said Rajinder Balaraman, vice-president, Matrix Partners India. "However, one of the challenges is that the B2B market is extremely fragmented and is far more sensitive to cost than service."
