Moglix — one of the largest and fastest growing B2B commerce companies in India — announced it has closed $60 million in Series D funding led by Tiger Global, Sequoia India, and Composite Capital. Moglix’s existing investors include Accel Partners, Jungle Ventures, IFC, Venture Highway, and Tata Sons’ Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata.

“We are excited to lead procurement transformation, building the right distribution model for modern India. I believe this change will impact how Indian suppliers, buyers, and overall B2B supply chain will shape up in the coming century. We are glad to have Tiger Global, Sequoia India, and Composite Capital, join us in the journey,” said Moglix founder and CEO Rahul Garg. “It is great to see how Moglix is on a major upsurge, growing at 300% YOY with an exuberant team. The funds will be critical in fueling expansion efforts by optimizing efficiencies in our focus areas such as technology innovation, analytics, and building & owning a wide logistics infrastructure network. We foresee an immense strength and scope of innovation in the B2B commerce space and the sectors we operate in.”

Moglix offers substantial savings in supplies and offers deals on brands like Allen Cooper, Liberty, 3M, Bosch, Hitachi, Taparia, Ambika, Bajaj, Crompton Greaves, Havells, Syska, Eveready, Fluke, V-Guard, Luminous, and Anchor across categories like lighting, luminaries, safety shoes, electrical components, power tools, electrical equipment, hand tools, and paint coatings.

“We are excited to partner with Moglix, which is rapidly transforming procurement services for India’s B2B market. As an industry leader with a strong management team, Moglix is poised for continued strong growth,” added Tiger Global partner Scott Shleifer.

Moglix delivers to over 20,000 pincodes serviceable across India. And the company is partnered with India’s most popular and secure payment solutions.

“We believe that technology will play a crucial role in upgrading supply chain in India for the 21st century. Moglix is building two unique assets simultaneously – physical infrastructure and a direct-to-enterprise distribution – to re-imagine indirect procurement in India. Sequoia India has been tracking the company for a while and is inspired by its commitment to this space. Rahul and his team have an audacious vision and it’s a delight to partner with them in building what could be a foundational business for India’s economy,” explained Sequoia Capital India Advisors Principal Tejeshwi Sharma

Recently, Garg told The Times of India that the company is expected to reach Rs 500 crore as a revenue rate this year “on a gross level” — which converts to about $72 million. And the company is growing 3-4 times year-on-year.

“We are excited to partner with the Moglix team as they pioneer modern, technology-enabled solutions for B2B commerce. GST reform is accelerating the pact of change in Indian business and Moglix continues to be the leader in providing industry-leading solutions for procurement,” noted Composite Capital managing partner David Ma.
