We are thrilled to announce our investment in ProcMart. Anish Popli and team have demonstrated a proven record of digitising legacy processes for indirect procurement. They have built a robust digital ecosystem for buyers and sellers, brought in ease of operations, quality assurance and significantly reduced long-tail spends for their Fortune 500 clientele. Today, it deals in 20,000 SKUs and is aggregating and streamlining heterogeneous supply. The founding team’s tenacious focus on fundamentals has enabled them to grow 100% Y-o-Y and profitable over the last 3 years, an absolute rarity in the current Indian startup landscape. We are excited to see what unfolds next for ProcMart. Sanjeev Aggarwal | Prateek Jain | SACHIN JAIN | Sandeep Soni https://lnkd.in/gyGNYk9p
