Exclusive: Binny Bansal’s Oppdoor raises additional $6.4 Mn from 3State Ventures Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal’s venture firm, 3State Ventures, has made an additional $6.4 million investment in its portfolio company Oppdoor Pte. Ltd, according to regulatory filings in Singapore reviewed by Entrackr. With this latest infusion, the total capital invested by 3State Ventures in Oppdoor has reached $14.35 million, the filings show. The investment has been made through tranches. Oppdoor is a Singapore-headquartered, technology-enabled managed services platform that helps consumer brands expand into global e-commerce markets. Rather than operating as a pure SaaS or logistics player, Oppdoor marked itself as a full-stack cross-border commerce enablement partner, handling marketplace operations for brands selling overseas. The startup reportedly works with emerging online brands looking to enter and scale in developed markets such as the US, UK, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia. Its services include managed marketplace operations, international compliance and taxation support, pricing and performance optimization, local partnerships, and operational execution across global marketplaces. The platform enables brands to sell internationally without setting up local entities or building in-house cross-border teams. Queries sent to Binny Bansal remained unanswered at the time of publishing. The company is a key part of Binny Bansal’s entrepreneurial journey after his exit from Flipkart. Following the sale of Flipkart to Walmart and his eventual exit from the company, Bansal launched Three State Ventures, a privately funded investment firm backed largely by his personal capital. The firm invests across sectors, including commerce, logistics, fintech, healthcare, and education.
