This funding will enable the company's shift to a full platform model, emphasizing carbon reduction as a core aspect of its offering.

Dhruv Taneja, Founder and CEO, MatchLog, said, "Our transition from a marketplace to a platform model is aimed at scaling our operations and increasing our sustainability efforts. Since starting our operations, we've managed 200,000 containers and improved their efficiency by around 50%. This has reduced our carbon emissions by 40,000 metric tonnes, contributing significantly to the reduction of the container logistics carbon footprint in India."

"Looking forward, we plan to handle 2 million trips annually, aiming to cut an additional 800,000 metric tonnes of emissions and save over USD 100 million in freight costs," he added.

In 2022, the Mumbai-based platform raised USD 3 million from Blue Ashva Capital, Rainmatter Climate Technologies, and Capital-A.

Healthtech Startup Endimension Technology Raises INR 6 Cr

Healthcare AI startup Endimension Technology announced that it has raised INR 6 crore in a pre-Series A round led by Inflection Point Ventures.

Other investors in this round include Sucseed Indovation, SINE IIT Bombay, and individual angel investors.

The platform aims to use the raised funds to fuel AI research and development, team expansion, and software enhancement.

Launched in 2018 by Bharadwaj Kss, Apparao Mlv, and Karthik Kannegondla, Endimension Technology is a technology company specializing in AI-driven solutions for radiology diagnostics.

The platform claims that it has conducted over 1 million patient scans and is present in 400 hospitals and diagnostic centers spanning various regions.

Ivy Chin, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures, said, "The Indian radio-diagnosis market, growing at a CAGR of 15%+ over the last decade, has got a lot of focus on equipment and infrastructure. The understated need is that of qualified professionals, i.e., radiologists, to manage this burgeoning demand. There has been growth across tiers I, II, and III for equipment, but the availability and prohibitive costs of trained radiologists exacerbate the problem of demand outstripping supply.

"Endimension focuses on leveraging AI to facilitate faster assessment and diagnosis, employing generative AI to streamline report generation and reduce the time required by radiologists. IPV is confident that this investment will contribute towards the betterment of the industry," he added.
