Ace Turtle, an omni-channel platform company in India, has raised Series A funding from Singapore based Vertex Ventures and C31 Ventures, the venture capital arm of CapitaLand.

Ace Turtle with its proprietary platform integrates online and offline retail channels automating and optimising Omni-Channel fulfilment.

"We see increasing demand for omni-channel solutions in India and in International markets. With our proprietary platform that is designed to adapt to evolving trends, we provide our clients with the tools to enable a seamless commerce experience for their customers. We endeavour to leverage Vertex’s expertise in scaling up tech companies, and accelerate growth in South East Asia with CapitaLand. The funds raised will be applied toward the building of the leadership team, augment our technology platform, and toward an aggressive expansion of our customer base in India and overseas,” says Nitin Chhabra, CEO of Ace Turtle.
