Delhivery expects the transaction to complete by January 2023, post which Algorhythm Tech will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Gurugram-based logistics firm.

“Algorhythm Tech’s supply chain management (SCM) software products will enhance our supply chain solutions offering with value added services and also drive cost optimization in service delivery,” said Sandeep Kumar Barasia, chief business officer of Delhivery.
“These SCM products are becoming vital for supply chain planning and optimization and our clients will have the option of availing the benefits of these as part of our integrated solutions platform.”
The acquisition helps Delhivery to improve its supply chain business, offering value added service to its customers, while optimizing costs.
