We looked at MatchLog as a potential investment because it addressed one of the major inefficiencies in global trade, namely empty container runs. The platform offered a smart, scalable solution for reusing import containers for export purposes, thereby containing costs and reducing carbon emissions. Armed with early customers such as Maersk and MSC, MatchLog enjoyed strong validation and a clear path to scale.

Post-investment, we worked with the team to evolve the business into a tech-first, asset-light logistics operator. We streamlined their operations by outsourcing warehousing to third-party providers and focused them on the SaaS platform. We also supported global contracting efforts. At the same time, we guided their shift to a data- and AI-led paradigm that included improved container matching and increased process automation.

MatchLog today manages over 500,000 containers annually with an ARR surpassing the $3M-mark, making it the largest container reuse platform in India, yet touching upon less than 2% of the market. With global interest swelling, MatchLog is poised to redesign, smarter, and cleaner container logistics at scale.
