Driving India’s Freight Future with AI
The funding is aimed at accelerating AI-powered logistics solutions that will make India’s fragmented freight ecosystem smarter, faster, and more transparent. Freight Tiger, which already processes nearly 5% of India’s total freight, plans to launch new innovations in Q4 2025, including:
- Vehicle Supply Density Platform

These AI-led tools are expected to cut inefficiencies, optimize freight routes, and reduce working capital costs for shippers.

Tata Motors’ vast trucking ecosystem combined with Freight Tiger’s intelligent logistics platform is seen as a game-changer for the industry.
“This investment is not just about funding technology – it’s about building India’s first integrated digital freight backbone,” said TV Swaminathan, VP & Head – Digital Business, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles.
Swapnil Shah, Founder & CEO of Freight Tiger, added, “Together with Tata Motors, we’re building a logistics intelligence network that will power India’s next wave of economic growth.”
Big Clients, Bigger Ambitions
