Founded in July 2021 by Divyaanshu, Vikas Garg, and Mayur Bhangale, through its Factory SaaS platform, Sourcewiz helps the lifestyle export industry digitise their sales and marketing operations such as product designing, cataloguing, creating quotations, invoicing, and trade show management.
In October last year, the startup had raised a seed round of $3 million from Blume Ventures and Alpha Wave Global.
“We want to be a full-stack platform for any exporter in this country, giving them everything from the digitisation of the factory to streamline their supply chain to getting them new demand,” said Divyaanshu.
Presently operating across four hubs in Delhi, Panipat, Moradabad, and Jaipur, it has added 500 small and medium-sized businesses as its customers since the platform went live in January 2022.
“Factory SaaS is a particularly hard sector where tech adoption has traditionally been a challenge. Indian SMBs are also traditionally hard users to monetise through SaaS. Sourcewiz has created a product that factories love, demonstrated by great sales traction and strong engagement numbers,” said Sajith Pai from Blume Ventures and Anirudh Singh from Alpha Wave Global.
