XIMKART | Global Raw Material Sourcing Platform

Founded by Sharan Urubail and Ankush Mittal in 2022, Ximkart is a raw material sourcing platform with a mission to be the primary source of raw materials for manufacturers globally.

Its cross-border supply chain and tech solutions ensure manufacturers have access to the best quality raw materials at the right price.

Speaking about the development, Sharan Urubail, Co-founder and CEO of Ximkart, said,

“Ximkart was launched with the aim of enabling our MSMEs to churn out better quality products at better prices and help them compete with the best in the world. Our platform provides manufacturers with direct access to the best raw materials from across the globe, along with easy payment and logistics solutions.”

The raw material sourcing startup aims to simplify the process of procuring and importing raw materials for manufacturers by providing better discovery, quality, transparency and accountability while eliminating middlemen in the supply chain.

Commenting on the development, Sudipto Sannigrahi, Principal, Matrix India, said, 

“India is poised to become the manufacturing powerhouse of the world. One of the key pieces to make that happen is a strong global sourcing platform for raw materials critical to manufacturing. Sharan and Ankush bring years of experience of having worked in B2B marketplaces across geographies.”

A week earlier, Matrix also led the $10-million equity and debt raise of ZippMat, a Bengaluru-based full-stack supply chain as a service (SCaaS) startup.
