This marked Getir's third round of investment in 2021, with nearly $1 billion raised since the beginning of the year. It is utilising the latest capital injection to fuel its expansion into the United States.

"Our model and approach to ultrafast delivery is thriving and this latest round of funding further enables us to deliver our best-in-class service to new customers in Europe, the United States and beyond,” said Nazim Salur, Founder, Getir.

“There is great appetite for Getir and rapid grocery delivery. As the pioneers of the market, we continue to stand out by constantly innovating to provide the industry standard.”
