Founded in 2021 by Nick Joshi, Leta specializes in AI-powered logistics software that helps businesses optimize delivery routes, manage fleets, and cut transportation costs.
Ghana Expansion Begins with Major Client
Leta’s Ghana debut starts strong with its first client—Simbisa Brands Limited, one of Africa’s largest quick-service restaurant groups. With over 600 outlets in 11 countries, Simbisa presents a strategic entry point into Ghana’s logistics sector.
Joshi shared the milestone on LinkedIn, writing:
“We are officially live in Accra with our first customer on the ground.”

The funds are being used to:
- Enhance Leta’s AI-powered logistics platform

- Drive product innovation for supply chain efficiency
Impressive Growth Since 2022
Since its pre-seed round in 2022, Leta has achieved major milestones:
- 5x growth in revenue

Joshi summed it up:
“With this capital, we’re looking to refine our product to empower more businesses with a cost-effective, data-driven supply chain.”
