It claims to work with over 500 manufacturers, dealers and suppliers such as ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, Tata Steel and JSW across 16 countries. In August last year, Axilor had led a $5 million seed round in Metalbook. The Delhi-based company is yet to disclose FY23 numbers but its revenue from operations stood at Rs 85.39 crore in FY22. Its losses also increased to Rs 25.90 crore in the same period. At the time of its Series A round in February, Metalbook said that itโ€™s anticipating to achieve an annualized revenue run rate of $200 million by the end of FY24.
