Even when India is fighting the ongoing second wave of the COVID19, the entrepreneurs of the country are working hard to keep the economic cycle running.
Recently, Moglix became the first industrial B2B commerce platform, in the manufacturing space, to enter the unicorn club. The startup is said to be valued at $1 billion after its latest $120 million Series E funding round.
The Series E funding round was led by Falcon Edge Capital and Harvard Management Co., with participation from existing investors Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India, and Venture Highway.
After its recent increase in valuation, Moglix has become the 13th Indian startup to enter the unicorn club this year.
Rahul Garg, founder, and chief executive of Moglix said on its recent achievement, “We started six years ago with a firm belief in the untapped potential of the Indian manufacturing sector. We are glad that Falcon Edge Capital and Harvard Management Co. have partnered with us in this journey. Falcon Edge, with its deep roots in the Middle East and Europe and an understanding of public companies, will guide us through the next phase of our journey.”
