India-based B2B ecommerce platform Moglix has raised US$250 million in a Series F funding round led by existing investors Alpha Wave and Tiger Global along with a new Hong Kong-based investor Ward Ferry.
The new funding round raises the startup’s valuation at US$2.6 billion. According to the company, the round comprised US$170 million in equity funding and US$79 million in secondaries.
Moglix is also backed by Accel Partners, Sequoia Capital, Harvard Management Company, International Finance Corporation and others.
Early investors, who had invested in the startup during the seed stage, have witnessed an 80x return on their investment.
Rahul Garg, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Moglix said, “We are happy to have the continued support and faith of our investors, customers, suppliers and team. We are excited to welcome Ward Ferry onboard.” He added, “We will continue to invest in building technology and supply chain capabilities to enable the growth of the manufacturing and infrastructure sector. Moglix will increasingly focus on growth driven by supply chain financing, acquisition of the right partners and global expansion.”
In May 2021, Moglix became the first B2B ecommerce unicorn in the manufacturing sector after a fundraise of US$120 million from Falcon Edge and Harvard Management.
