BENGALURU: Bijnis, a business-to-business (B2B) platform for manufacturers, has raised a Series B round of $ 30 million (approximately ₹ 222 crore) led by Westbridge Capital. The round also featured the participation of existing investors InfoEdge, Matrix Partners India and Sequoia Capital India, Bijnis said on Monday.

Bijnis has more than 5,000 registered manufacturers and factory owners. It helps them meet the demand of more than 100,000 small retailers. Its goal is to attract 20,000 manufacturers and 1 million retailers in the next two years.

“The past 12 months have been transformative for Bijnis, and the scale of growth achieved is a clear result of the factory’s product-focused investments as well as the reach of the retailer,” said Sudipto Sannigrahi, Vice President of Matrix India.

Over the next two years, Bijnis will also focus on acquiring demand from international markets for its manufacturing partners.

Bijnis had raised its $ 10 million Series A round co-led by Matrix Partners India and Sequoia Capital India in July 2020.

The startup had also announced a secondary sale of shares, with the company’s early investors selling their shares.

New investors who bought the company included Zomato boss Deepinder Goyal, Policybazaar CEO Sarbvir Singh, and Ofbusiness founder Asish Mohapatra, among others.
