BENGALURU: Zetwerk Pvt Ltd., a burgeoning supply chain startup headquartered in Bengaluru, India, is reportedly engaged in discussions concerning fundraising avenues, including the possibility of an initial public offering (IPO).
The strategic move could potentially enable the company to raise as much as $1 billion, a development that underscores the growing significance of the Indian startup ecosystem and the increasing investor interest in technology-driven supply chains.
Backed by prominent investment firms such as Peak XV Partners and Lightspeed India Partners, Zetwerk has been proactive in aligning with investment banks to prepare for a prospective IPO in Mumbai, anticipated for the coming year.

The phase of preparation reflects the company’s ambition to amplify its operational capacity and market presence, positioning itself for a valuation in the billions. However, it is important to note that the discussions around the IPO remain preliminary, with no definitive decisions finalised regarding its size, valuation, or specific timing.
Zetwerk’s core technology platform is designed to facilitate connections between suppliers and customers across various sectors, including aircraft engine manufacturing, consumer electronics, and home appliances.
By enhancing efficiency and transparency in supply chain processes, the company aims to disrupt traditional models and create significant value for its stakeholders.
While the potential IPO represents a pivotal opportunity for Zetwerk to secure substantial capital and enhance its competitive advantage, the company must navigate the complexities inherent in public listings.
