Bangalore-based e-commerce consultancy firm Ace Turtle has raised $5 million in its Series A round of funding from Vertex Venture Holdings Ltd, the venture capital arm of Singapore state investment firm Temasek, and Singapore-based real estate developer CapitaLand.
Founded in September 2013 by Nitin Chhabra and Berry Singh, the company provides e-commerce development tools and fully managed services, with a focus on omnichannel retail solutions.
“We looked at the market opportunity and we realized that in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, all the e-commerce players are moving towards omnichannel,” said Ben Mathias, India head for Vertex. “While e-commerce companies are going omnichannel, the offline companies have been struggling to go online. For some reason, the offline retailers in Asia have not been successful going online and this has been a big problem for them.Here we are looking for a solution.”
