Celcius Logistics, a domestic aggregator providing end-to-end cold-chain solutions, has secured Rs 40 crore ($4.8 million) in a pre-series B round, led by existing investor IvyCap Ventures. Other investors include Mumbai Angels and Caret Capital.
The current round follows the Series A funding round of Rs 100 crore ($12 million) in April 2023 led by IvyCap Ventures.
