Venttup, a leading innovative startup of Industry 5.0 aiming to expand its global network of scalable engineering and resources with India at its core, has secured seed funding from Unicorn India Ventures.
This investment will be utilised in enhancing business expansion and technological innovation for its Indigenisation Program Management initiatives, Venttup announced in a statement.
Bikram Mahajan, Partner, Unicorn India Ventures, commented “Venttup is addressing a major gap in the fragmented industrial B2B services market by building a scalable, transparent platform that redefines how India’s manufacturing sector operates. As India emerges as a $1 trillion manufacturing powerhouse, Venttup’s emphasis on predictable capacity utilization, traceability and localization delivers a much-needed solution for OEMs looking for reliable, long-term partners. Their digital-first approach to outsourced enterprise-grade capex at scale is setting new benchmarks in transparency and operational efficiency. We believe Venttup is poised to drive a significant shift in the manufacturing landscape.”
Having been self-funded until now, this investment represents a major achievement for Venttup, providing the necessary capital to support its plans for international growth.
Founded by founders Sandeep Nair, M. Wasim Ankli, and Joseph Panakkal, Venttup is set on transforming the manufacturing sector by bringing together millions of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (MSMEs) on a unified digital platform. This platform enhances operational effectiveness by providing these businesses with a comprehensive supply chain.
Venttup supports major corporations in delegating their engineering requirements while also helping them lower their environmental impact through cloud-based manufacturing and eco-friendly practices. It provides specialized local production of essential engineering solutions and intricate, customized parts for the energy, electric vehicle (EV), aerospace, and defense industries.
The company boasts an annual revenue of Rs 2 crore and a pipeline of orders worth Rs 20 crore since its inception in 2023. It plans to increase its revenue fivefold in the next year by securing at least 50 new clients.
“Venttup tackles a major manufacturing challenge by reducing reliance on imported components – by promoting the China Plus One strategy and aligning with government initiatives to increase local content in critical projects. This enables Venttup to offer a comprehensive resource pool for the end-to-end program management of component localization. We aim to create a single platform for global buyers to source quality, proven products from India, driving the country’s transformation into a global manufacturing hub,” said Sandeep Nair, Co-Founder & CEO of Venttup Ventures.
