Bizongo raises $25m working capital facility
B2B trade enablement giant Bizongo has secured a $25-million working capital facility from Tel Aviv-based Liquidity Group’s Mars Growth Capital.
In December 2021, Bizongo raised $110 million in a Series D round led by Tiger Global Management, valuing the firm at $600 million.
“The working capital facility drives for 100% availability of made-to-order goods procurement and no-stock-outs at very low inventory level, as well as helps Bizongo’s clients to reduce their made-to-order products’ procurement cost,” says Yaron Primovich, managing director at Mars Growth Capital.
Bizongo was founded in 2015 by IIT graduates Aniket Deb, Sachin Agrawal and Ankit Tomar and focuses on packaging, textiles, apparel and other contract manufacturing goods as its product portfolio and has a network of over 6,300 partner factories. Through its proprietary digital platforms, such as Procure Live, Partner Hub and Artwork Flow, Bizongo said it offers digital vendor management, supply-chain automation and supply-chain financing as key services to its enterprise customers.
