Milkbasket has raised close to USD 16 million (about Rs 111 crore) from Mayfield Advisors, Beenext, Kalaari Capital, Unilever Ventures, Lenovo and Blume Ventures. It recently acquired Veggie India to further deepen its footprints in Delhi-NCR.

"The debt will be used for investment in automation. We will also use it to facilitate our expansion in two more cities," Goel said.

The company expects to grow business by five times in the next fiscal year at current growth rate.

Launched in 2015, Milkbasket delivers groceries, including branded milk, fruits and vegetables, in Noida, Bengaluru and Gurugram.
