Accel

Congratulations Rajesh, Chanakya, Ramasubramanian, and the team at BlackBuck (Zinka Logistics Solutions Ltd), on taking your company public today. BlackBuck epitomises what it means to tackle truly ‘real’ problems, and is a great example of the impact one can deliver to the industry and society at large. It’s been our privilege at Accel to partner with this exceptional team from their Seed round in 2015. Since Day 1, BlackBuck’s unwavering commitment to understand and solve transportation problems faced by truckers, fleet owners, and shippers has been inspiring. Their commitment and empathy-driven approach has contributed significantly to the Indian logistics ecosystem over the past decade.  BlackBuck’s goal wasn’t about simply matching trucks with loads—it was about creating an ecosystem where truckers and businesses could thrive. Being a small part of this journey has been nothing short of humbling. I’ve shared my reflections on the BlackBuck journey, here: https://lnkd.in/gsdt4EkT #AccelFamily #CelebratingBlackBuck

#AI is rewriting #software, but what does it mean for software developers? We can’t think of a better team than the Tessl team, led by Guy Podjarny, to answer this question. Tessl will tackle the challenge of reimagining software creation from the ground up – moving from a code-centric to a spec-centric model that will make development more accessible, productive, maintainable and secure. Having partnered with Guy on the Snyk journey, we’re thrilled to be supporting him again and look forward to what’s ahead! https://lnkd.in/eys6zpCr

Today marks yet another milestone for Sriharsha, Nandan, Phani, Rahul, Rohit, Amitesh, Girish, Madhusudhan and the rest of the amazing team at Swiggy! It’s been an honour to be part of this journey since the Seed stage, and I am as excited as Day 1 to see what’s next.   From my earliest conversations, it was clear that Swiggy was about more than food delivery. It was about reimagining convenience, transforming daily life, and creating a category that didn’t exist before. Fast-forward to today, Swiggy has become a true engine of impact, empowering 200,000+ restaurants, providing livelihoods for 400,000+ delivery partners, and a lifeline for essentials for millions of people.   Swiggy’s mission-driven journey has also inspired countless entrepreneurs across India.   For the Accel team, it's been a very special journey indeed with Harsha and the Swiggy team from our Seed investment in 2015 all the way to this IPO. We believe this is just the boarding point for another amazing journey.    Also, wanted to take this time to thank our fellow travellers - Mukul, Ashutosh, Roger, Sumer, Niren, and all the other co-investors who partnered along the way.   I penned down my thoughts on Accel’s early interactions with this brilliant team in 2015 and how they’ve grown from strength to strength, becoming a truly loved brand across India: https://lnkd.in/gYf54Rev   #SwiggyIPO #AccelFamily #CelebratingSwiggy
