Online recharge and utility payments portal Paytm has invested $10 million in LogiNext Solution Pvt Ltd, a location-based analytics startup for logistics management.

The move is in line with Paytm’s strategy of investing $150 million in a dozen Indian tech start-ups over the next few months.

“We are building a strong logistics cloud network for our merchants and courier partners and our investment in Loginext adds muscle to our cloud offerings. Loginext’s real time big data analytics platform will help courier companies to bring in more efficiency in their delivery network by route optimization and real time tracking of their resources,” said Kiran Vasireddy, senior vice president at Paytm, which is owned by Noida-based One97 Communications Ltd.
