Bengaluru startup Scimplify, which is a specialty chemicals manufacturing and sourcing platform, has raised USD 40 million in Series B funding, which was co-led by Accel and Bertelsmann India Investments, and participated by UMI, Omnivore, and 3one4 Capital.

This newest funding raises the company's seed and Series A rounds total to USD 54 million.

With this injection of capital, Scimplify seeks to further fuel its global expansion beyond the current 16 countries. The organization also looks to deepen its presence in life sciences, crop sciences, and industrial chemicals, which present main pain points in raw material sourcing, regulatory compliance, and large-scale manufacturing.

Started by Salil Srivastava and Sachin Santhosh, Scimplify is a science-based B2B fulfillment platform that addresses the entire product life cycle from contract research to full-scale chemical manufacturing. Scimplify serves pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and personal care industries through a network of 200+ manufacturing facilities in cost-effective Indian geographies.

Scimplify's plug-and-play model allows global customers to access India's cutting-edge production capabilities without the hassle of establishing their own infrastructure. The platform's value rests in marrying strong R&D knowledge with reproducible manufacturing, and it represents a compelling partner for organizations looking for flexible, enterprise-class chemical manufacturing solutions.

"We started Scimplify with the vision of bringing India's highly specialized manufacturing capabilities to a global customer base", said Salil Srivastava, Co-Founder at Scimplify. "As global supply chains shift, customers need reliable, R&D-led partners to address their specialty chemical needs. With Accel joining our journey, we are committed to building a next-gen global manufacturing company".

Scimplify claims to serve top-tier innovators and manufacturers in major markets, including the US, Europe, and Japan.

Rachit Parekh, Principal at Accel, said, "The global specialty chemicals supply chain is undergoing a transformation. Scimplify's ability to provide a flexible, innovation-led manufacturing network aligns with the industry's shifting demands. We are excited to back their journey and help shape the future of this space".

Rohit Sood, Partner at Bertelsmann India Investments, added, "Scimplify has demonstrated exceptional scalability, expanding exports and setting up an advanced R&D facility in Hyderabad. With India's strengths in specialty chemicals, the company is well-positioned to dominate the global procurement landscape".

Notable angel investors in Scimplify include Asish Mohapatra and Ruchi Kalra (OfBusiness), Amrit Acharya and Srinath Ramakkrushnan (Zetwerk), Rajnikant Rai (ex-ITC Agri Business CEO), and Sanjiv Rangrass (Capria Ventures).

With strong investor backing and a growing global footprint, Scimplify is on track to redefine specialty chemical manufacturing and procurement on an international scale.
