GoKwik, the e-commerce enablement company powering India’s digital-first brands, has raised $13 million in a fresh round led by RTP Global. The round also saw participation from long-term partners Z47, Peak XV, and Think Investments, bringing the company’s total funding to $68 million.
At Z47, we backed Chirag Taneja, Vivek Bajpai and Ankush Talwar, co-founders at GoKwik early, with a simple conviction - India needed its own e-commerce infrastructure layer: built ground-up for the realities of low-trust shoppers, high CoD share, and the speed of D2C brand-building.
Since then, GoKwik has become the backend that quietly compounds growth for India’s e-commerce economy, processing over $2B in GMV.
“As the next era of e-commerce is defined by intelligent, interoperable products, our mission is to build a unified growth operating system for brands worldwide,” said Chirag Taneja, Co-Founder & CEO, GoKwik. “AI is not an add-on for us — it is the operating system that powers every experience we create.”
“It’s been a privilege to witness GoKwik’s journey from the early days. Chirag, Ankush, and Vivek have built an outstanding team with a clear sense of purpose and a deep understanding of what brands need to succeed in an AI-first world,” said Galina Chifina, Partner & CEO, RTP Global. “Their data-led approach and ability to anticipate market shifts have made them a vital partner for the D2C ecosystem. We’re excited to continue supporting GoKwik as they scale globally and redefine personalised, data-driven commerce.”
“GoKwik was born out of necessity for the Indian e-commerce space. The company’s journey as a leading AI-first commerce enabler has been extraordinary. Their deep data-driven approach and clear vision for a unified growth operating system set a new standard for D2C and marketplace brands,” said Rajat Agarwal, Managing Director, Z47. “We’re proud to deepen our partnership with Chirag, Vivek and Ankush as GoKwik accelerates international expansion and pushes the boundaries of AI-powered commerce.”
At Z47, we see GoKwik as a pillar in India’s developed nation-building journey: an India-first, AI-first company that’s quietly becoming the growth OS for digital brands. GoKwik’s stack solves for the unglamorous but mission-critical problems that D2C and e-commerce brands face daily: cart drop-offs, return abuse, low CoD reliability, and poor post-purchase experiences. It’s a full-funnel suite designed to drive more GMV without more burn:
- KwikCheckout uses RTO protection to flag risky orders and boost CoD success rates. Brands see fewer failed deliveries and higher conversion rates.
- KwikEngage turns WhatsApp into a growth channel—recovering carts, upselling post-purchase, and building loyalty workflows. 100+ brands in the UK already use it.
- KwikPass simplifies checkout with one-click login and payments—removing friction for new and returning users.
- Return Prime helps brands manage returns with transparency and speed, turning a pain point into a brand-building moment.
All four tools work out-of-the-box across platforms: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Salesforce, and custom sites, so brands can plug in and start seeing results, fast.
Chirag says it best: “Our ambition is bold but clear: transform GoKwik from a suite of products into the default growth infrastructure for D2C and e-commerce brands. By connecting every shopper touchpoint - from discovery to returns, we create compounding value and sustainable growth for merchants of all sizes.”
We wish the team at GoKwik continued success. Tune in to Chirag Taneja in conversation with Z47’s Avnish Bajaj & Rajat Agarwal on Zero to Infinity. Watch it here.
