Gatik

Driverless box trucks for middle-mile freight
Gatik operates Level 4 autonomous box trucks on fixed, repeatable middle-mile routes — the short hops between distribution centers and retail stores — rather than chasing long-haul or robotaxi markets. Founded in 2017 by brothers Gautam and Arjun Narang with Apeksha Kumavat and out of stealth in 2019, the Santa Clara company runs fully driverless commercial freight for Walmart, PepsiCo, Kroger, Loblaws and Tyson Foods across Dallas, Phoenix and Northwest Arkansas, on trucks manufactured by Isuzu. It raised a $200M Series D in August 2026 led by the Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies — its largest round, taking total funding to roughly $500M — two months after a multi-year PepsiCo agreement. The company reports more than $600M in contracted revenue and 85,000 completed driverless orders; it did not disclose a valuation for the round.
