On April 22, PepperTap, a 17-month-old Gurgaon-headquartered startup, said it will shut its grocery delivery operations. Promoters Navneet Singh and Milind Sharma, who had earlier worked together at logistics startup Delhivery, will now focus on expanding PepperTap’s own logistics business.

Founded in November 2014 by Singh, an Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad graduate, and Sharma, PepperTap was built to deliver groceries from local stores to neighbourhood customers within two hours. Orders could be placed through the company’s mobile app or website.
