Speaking about the investment, Amrit Acharya, Co-founder & CEO, Zetwerk, said, “The global manufacturing industry has had to swiftly adjust to the new normal, and digital solutions have become essential. Zetwerk accelerates this digital transformation with state-of-the-art productivity tools and remote project management. 2021 will see a further pace of growth as companies seek to diversify their procurement to minimise disruptions and become more agile and resilient."

Zetwork operates across various industry verticals including Aerospace, Automotive, Oil & Gas, Energy, Cement, Steel, Sugar, Infrastructure, Material Handling, and many more.

Commenting on the funding, Neil Shah, Partner at Greenoaks Capital, said, “We are excited to partner with Zetwerk on the next leg of its journey as it expands its value proposition globally. Zetwerk's operating system for manufacturing has digitised multiple supply chains end-to-end, ensuring on-time delivery, and high-quality standards. This has led to its rapid growth in India and internationally, with the potential to quickly become one of the most important manufacturing platforms globally.”
