Founding and Headquarters
Moglix was founded in 2015 by Rahul Garg, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) and the Indian School of Business (ISB), who had previously served as Head of Advertising Exchange at Google Asia.[6][7][8] Garg's decision to start the company stemmed from his recognition of significant inefficiencies in India's fragmented industrial procurement market, where small and medium enterprises often faced challenges in sourcing supplies due to outdated distribution channels and lack of digital integration.[7][9] The company initially launched its operations in August 2015 as a B2B e-commerce platform focused on industrial supplies, aiming to streamline procurement for manufacturing and maintenance sectors.[10][11] This marked the beginning of Moglix's efforts to digitize the supply chain, starting with a marketplace model that connected buyers directly with suppliers.[10] Although originally established in Singapore as its registered base, Moglix relocated its operational headquarters to Noida, India, to better serve the domestic market while maintaining Singapore for global incorporation.[12][13] As of 2025, the company employs over 1,300 people, supporting its expanded operations from the Noida facility at D-188, Sector-10.[14][12]Leadership and Key Personnel

These tools integrate with the logistics ecosystem to provide end-to-end visibility, from supplier onboarding with 16,000+ partners to real-time inventory tracking across regions. This hybrid approach has positioned Moglix to serve diverse industries while scaling operations efficiently in emerging markets.[28][29][30][2]History and Milestones
Early Development
Moglix, founded in August 2015 by Rahul Garg, launched its core B2B e-commerce marketplace that year, enabling online procurement of industrial products for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in India. The platform's inception was supported by pre-Series A seed funding of approximately $1.5 million from Accel Partners and Jungle Ventures, which facilitated the acquisition of over 200 suppliers and the establishment of a technology-driven supply chain model.[31][32] This early funding was crucial for addressing the fragmented nature of India's industrial goods market, where traditional offline procurement dominated and digital adoption was low among SMEs.[4] In February 2016, Moglix secured an additional undisclosed investment from Ratan Tata, a prominent industrialist and former chairman of the Tata Group, which bolstered its credibility and resources for platform enhancements.[33] However, the startup encountered significant initial challenges in building trust within the B2B industrial sector, where buyers were accustomed to long-standing relationships with local suppliers and wary of unproven online platforms amid a highly fragmented market comprising thousands of small vendors.[34] To overcome these hurdles, Moglix focused on integrating robust technology for inventory management and logistics, gradually onboarding manufacturers and demonstrating reliability through efficient order fulfillment.[35] By 2017, Moglix had gained traction and introduced Green GST, an affordable SaaS-based tool designed to help manufacturing units comply with India's newly implemented Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, automating tax filings, reconciliations, and supply chain digitization ahead of the July 1 rollout.[36] This innovation addressed a critical pain point for SMEs navigating regulatory changes, leveraging Moglix's supply chain expertise to serve over 300 billion USD in the manufacturing segment. Later that year, in July, the company raised $12 million in Series B funding led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, alongside Rocketship.vc and existing investors, to fuel technology development and infrastructure growth.[37] With this capital, Moglix expanded operations from its initial bases in Delhi-NCR, Pune, and Chennai to three additional Indian cities, enhancing accessibility for regional SMEs and scaling its user base.[37]Growth and Key Initiatives
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Moglix formed partnerships to supply over 6 million units of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the UK and Europe, aiding critical healthcare needs amid global shortages.[38] In the same period, the company expanded its offerings by entering the UK and European markets to facilitate industrial procurement.[39] In 2021, Moglix achieved unicorn status following a $120 million Series E funding round that valued the company at $1 billion, marking it as India's 13th unicorn that year.[40] Later that year, it launched Credlix, a digital supply chain financing platform designed to provide working capital solutions and early payment options for suppliers and MSMEs. Additionally, Moglix acquired Vendaxo, an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used industrial machinery, to strengthen its ecosystem for manufacturing equipment. In 2021, Moglix expanded its operations into Abu Dhabi, establishing a presence in the Khalifa Industrial Zone (KIZAD) to support regional manufacturing and logistics in the Middle East.[41] The company also invested $5 million in Euler Motors, an electric vehicle startup focused on commercial logistics, to promote sustainable transportation solutions within its supply chain network.[42] In 2023, Moglix implemented a workforce optimization, laying off approximately 3% of its staff—around 40 employees—following an annual performance review amid broader industry adjustments.[43] From 2023 to 2025, the company experienced steady revenue growth, reaching nearly $700 million in operating revenue for the financial year ended March 2025 (FY25), reflecting a 15% increase from the prior year.[44] Ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO), Moglix allocated ₹500-600 crore for strategic acquisitions in FY26, targeting expansions in traditional manufacturing and high-growth sectors like sustainable packaging.[45] In 2025, Moglix entered the energy sector through a partnership with DRG Industries, launching a next-generation bitumen facility in Mathura, India, with commercial production starting in July.[46] Key initiatives during this period included comprehensive support for over 3,000 factories across India and international locations, enabling digital procurement and vendor consolidation to streamline operations for large manufacturers. Moglix also integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into its supply chain processes to enhance efficiency, such as predictive analytics for inventory management and route optimization, reducing costs and improving delivery times for industrial goods.[34]Funding and Financials
Investment Rounds
Moglix's funding journey began in 2015 with early-stage investments that laid the foundation for its B2B e-commerce platform. The company has since attracted significant capital from prominent global investors, culminating in a total of $471 million raised across nine funding rounds as of October 2025.[47] In October 2015, Moglix secured approximately $1.5 million in seed funding from Accel Partners and Jungle Ventures to launch its marketplace and onboard initial suppliers.[32] This was followed in February 2016 by an undisclosed investment from Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, marking one of the early endorsements from industrial sector leaders.[33] The company's Series B round in July 2017 raised $12 million, led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) with participation from Rocketship.vc and existing backers Accel Partners and Jungle Ventures; this infusion supported expansion into additional Indian cities and supply chain digitization efforts.[37] Subsequent growth funding included a $23 million Series C in December 2018, co-led by Accel Partners and IFC, and enabled international scaling.[48] In July 2019, a $60 million Series D round led by Tiger Global Management, alongside Sequoia India (now Peak XV Partners) and Composite Capital, further strengthened its manufacturing-focused procurement ecosystem.[49] Moglix achieved unicorn status in May 2021 through a $120 million Series E round led by Falcon Edge Capital and Harvard Management Company, with Tiger Global also participating; the funding valued the company at $1 billion and accelerated its global operations.[40] The following year, in January 2022, it raised $250 million in a Series F round from Alpha Wave Global and Tiger Global Management, doubling its valuation to $2.6 billion and providing capital for enhanced technology and market penetration.[2]| Round | Date | Amount | Lead Investors | Key Notes |
