Zetwerk | A B2B Marketplace For Contract Manufacturing
Started by Amrit Acharya, Srinath Ramakkrushnan, Rahul Sharma, and Vishal Chaudhary, Zetwerk is a Bengaluru-based B2B marketplace for contract manufacturing. The B2B marketplace for contract manufacturing offers a full spectrum of manufacturing services – from custom-made components to mass production, from quality certification to inventory and supply chain management.
Zetwerk is a partner to leading players in precision parts, capital goods and consumer goods categories, creating products including prefabricated structures for infrastructure projects, precision parts for aerospace, sheet metal for electric vehicles, and assembly lines for consumer durables.
Transforming the world of traditional manufacturing, Zetwerk is helping customers reduce costs, optimize suppliers and execute production faster.
With the increasing interest of investors, B2B marketplaces in India have been raising funds at an accelerated pace. The inflow of capital is easy, with the gap between rounds of funding being less than a year or just over a year for a few B2B players.
In Feb this year, a marketplace for on-demand construction materials Infra.Market joined the coveted unicorn club and later acquired a majority stake in Sociam Equipment Solutions, an equipment solutions platform.
