“SupplyNote is powering the backbone of India’s economy. Having worked with the team since 2019, we’re impressed with SupplyNote’s steep growth curve throughout the pandemic, their culture of experimentation, and their obsession with serving customers. India’s supply chain will be seamlessly but drastically more digitized in the near future, and we can’t wish for a better team to execute this vision,” William Bao Bean, General Partner at SOSV added.

Further speaking on the funding round, Apoorva Ranjan Sharma, President & Co-founder, Venture Catalysts said, “The Indian SAAS market is growing exponentially. It is anticipated to cut 4-6 percent of the global SAAS market by 2030. It has the potential to disrupt every vertical. F&B is one of the top industries to be disrupted by SAAS. And the timing could not be better, as due to the pandemic the industry is seeking the urgent need for tech support. SupplyNote is one of the start-ups that hold the potential to reform.”

“International F&B brands are entering India and intend to scale their presence. SupplyNote provides them with an intelligent platform for such a scale, connecting local supply networks to the spread-out outlets bringing the infrastructure push that these businesses need to grow exponentially in India. Furthermore, it allows them to take this platform to operationalize their operations worldwide” Sri Purisai, Founder and General Partner, Riso Capital further added.
