What TOCAL does
TOCAL is a Bengaluru-headquartered technology-driven intra-city transport network founded in 2021 and operated under DBYT Dynamics Mobility Solutions Private Limited. The company provides EV-powered hyperlocal and last-mile delivery services to enterprise and SMB clients across e-commerce, quick-commerce, FMCG, grocery, food, pharmaceutical, and cold-chain verticals, currently operating in Bengaluru and Hyderabad with a fleet of 200+ delivery executives. Its service stack combines dedicated EV fleet deployment (using Hero NYX, Eagle, Rage+ Rapid EV, and Hiload electric 2- and 3-wheelers), pay-per-use micro-fulfillment centers offered as warehouse-as-a-service, and a proprietary operations platform branded TOCAL Dashboard that handles order allocation, live tracking, and real-time analytics.
The company generates revenue through transaction-based delivery fees for B2B clients, usage-based fees for warehousing, and managed fleet services. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise contracts and varies by vehicle type, delivery type (hyperlocal vs. last-mile), city, and product category. On the driver-partner side, TOCAL offers a zero-deposit model with guaranteed minimum earnings of Rs 25,000/month plus incentives, weekly payouts, and insurance benefits, providing a structured alternative to gig-economy platforms. Named customers include Amazon, Big Basket, Zepto, Porter, SPAR, Cake Zone, Gourmet Garden, Sprink, Tan90, Udan, Reatch All, and Blue Horn, with the company claiming 15+ clients, 12+ lakh cumulative deliveries, and 29+ lakh green kilometers travelled.
TOCAL raised Rs 9 crore (~$942K) in seed funding in July 2026 led by XB Group with participation from Navyug Global Ventures and HNI Nivetha Muralidharan, and concurrently entered a strategic collaboration with K-Indev Logistics to build an integrated logistics platform. Use of funds is earmarked for fulfillment center rollout, EV fleet scaling, and technology enhancement. The founder and CEO is Dhairyasheel Deshmukh, whose stated mission is to enable 1 million independent drivers under the TOCAL platform by 2030 and to scale to 15+ cities, 20,000+ EVs, 75 fulfillment centers, and 1,000+ brands within 4-5 years.

TOCAL competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Porter: Intra-city goods transport platform in India using mini-trucks and two-wheelers for on-demand and contracted delivery. Porter is both a TOCAL customer and a directly comparable intra-city logistics operator competing for enterprise B2B delivery spend.
- Dunzo: Hyperlocal on-demand delivery platform serving quick-commerce and B2B needs across Indian metros. Directly comparable for hyperlocal delivery use cases and enterprise B2B contracts.
- Borzo (WeFast): Quick intra-city and last-mile delivery network operating in India (as WeFast) with on-demand driver-partner fulfillment. Directly comparable on the hyperlocal/quick-commerce delivery use cases that anchor TOCAL's customer mix.
- Shadowfax: Indian last-mile delivery and third-party logistics provider serving e-commerce, D2C, grocery, and FMCG clients. Comparable in target customer mix, delivery model, and last-mile focus.
- Zypp Electric: India's leading EV-only last-mile delivery and gig-EV rental platform. Direct peer in that Zypp also deploys electric two- and three-wheelers with driver partners to e-commerce, quick-commerce, and grocery customers, addressing the same cost and sustainability pain points TOCAL targets.
Broad incumbents
- Ecom Express: Dedicated e-commerce logistics 3PL with pan-India last-mile delivery network. Comparable as an enterprise-focused B2B last-mile competitor, though at materially larger scale and without EV-only positioning.
- Delhivery: India's largest publicly listed third-party logistics and supply-chain company with extensive last-mile, warehousing, and freight operations. Broad incumbent in the same end-market but at much larger scale and breadth than TOCAL.
- Xpressbees: Indian end-to-end e-commerce logistics provider covering first-mile, middle-mile, and last-mile delivery. Overlaps with TOCAL in the last-mile B2B segment but operates a much broader geographic and service footprint.
Others
- Battery Smart: India's largest battery-swapping network for electric two- and three-wheelers. Comparable not as a delivery competitor but as an EV infrastructure enabler whose swap network coverage directly affects TOCAL's EV fleet uptime and unit economics.
Emerging players
- Pickrr: Tech-enabled aggregator logistics platform providing D2C and SMB e-commerce shipping and last-mile delivery in India. Comparable as an emerging tech-led last-mile peer targeting similar e-commerce and D2C customers.
