Initially, Udaan was started only as a logistic platform for small buyers and sellers in electronics, staple and apparels. That time they only focused on logistics for approx. 8 to 10 months. They got very much exposure within India which was very significant for the startup at that time. During those days, Udaan has built a huge data database of buyers and sellers before they stepped into the supply business. Udaan not only acts as a market place for the sellers and buyers but also takes care of the logistics and payments.
