Online B2B logistics solutions marketplace Blackbuck has raised Rs 56 crore in a mixed round of equity and debt fund from Trifecta Venture.

According to the latest RoC filings of the company with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the Blackbuck board has approved allotment of 322 Series D CCPS equity shares and 500 series A non-convertible debentures by private placement to Trifecta.

The Bengaluru-based company has raised Rs 50 crore in debt at a price of Rs 10 lakh per share while Rs 6.23 crore has been granted at a price of Rs 1,43,489.51 per share. Though, the company is yet to receive the Rs 6.23 crore. 

The latest round comes five months after its last round of $150 million in Series D funding led by Goldman Sachs Investment Partners and Accel US, with participation from B Capital and Sequoia Capital, at a valuation of $950 million.

So far, Blackbuck has raised a total of $285.2 million in funding. The company will invest the fresh capital in bolstering product and data sciences capabilities.
