Exclusive: Zetwerk secures debt from JM Financial
Medial

B2B e-commerce unicorn Zetwerk has raised Rs 75 crore (around $8.8 million) in debt funding from JM Financial, one of the banks it has reportedly appointed for its planned initial public offering (IPO). As per regulatory filings accessed via the Registrar of Companies (RoC), the company’s board issued 7,500 non-convertible debentures having a face value of Rs 1,00,000 each to raise the above-mentioned amount. Founded by Amrit Acharya, Srinath Ramakkrushnan, Rahul Sharma, and Vishal Chaudhary, Zetwerk connects buyers with suppliers for manufacturing projects. It partners with vendors specializing in fabrication, machining, casting, forging, and galvanizing of machine parts. It’s operational in India, the US, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Peak XV-backed company has raised over $850 million to date, including debt. This includes a $67 million Series F round led by Khosla Ventures at a $3 billion valuation, as exclusively reported by Entrackr. Zetwerk plans to raise at least $500 million through its IPO in the next 12 to 24 months, targeting a valuation of around $5 billion. While it has yet to disclose its FY25 numbers, the Bengaluru-based company reported a 26% increase in gross revenue, rising to Rs 14,435.72 crore in FY24 from Rs 11,448.66 crore in FY23. However, during the same period, losses surged 9X to Rs 919 crore, which included exceptional items worth Rs 371.7 crore. In the B2B e-commerce space, Zetwerk competes with Infra.Market, which recently raised $150 million in debt from Mars Growth Capital, and IPO-bound OfBusiness, which recently secured Rs 100 crore in funding. It also rivals Moglix, another unicorn in the segment.

Content: IPO-bound B2B e-commerce unicorn Zetwerk is raising Rs 600 crore (approximately $70 million) from its promoters through a newly formed entity, Creovate Innovation Private Limited. The company’s board has passed a special resolution to issue 6.46 crore preference shares to facilitate the fund infusion, as per documents reviewed by Entrackr. Creovate Innovation was incorporated in March 2025 by Zetwerk’s co-founders Amrit Pratik Acharya and Srinath Ramakkrushnan.

As per the Entrackr’s findings, the newly incorporated company (Creovate Innovate) is also raising Rs 650 crore via debt with the likes of Avendus and RV Capital and over 100 other investors. The company has already received Rs 497 crore ($58.4 million) during the round. The fresh proceeds will be used for meeting fund requirements, growth plan, and general corporate purposes, but not limited to capital expenditure, as per the filings. Zetwerk declined to respond to queries sent by Entrackr. The development comes as the Bengaluru-based firm gears up for a $400–500 million IPO, aiming for a valuation of around $5 billion. Zetwerk connects buyers with suppliers for manufacturing projects by partnering vendors specializing in fabrication, machining, casting, forging, and galvanizing of machine parts. It’s operational in India, the US, the Middle East, and Southeast Asian region. Zetwerk has raised over $800 million through a mix of equity and debt funding, including a $70 million Series F round led by Khosla Ventures in December last year, which pegged its post-money valuation at $3 billion. The development was exclusively reported by Entrackr. While it has yet to disclose its FY25 numbers, the company reported a 26% year-on-year increase in gross revenue to Rs 14,436 crore in FY24 from Rs 11,449 crore in FY23.

The board at Zetwerk has passed a board resolution to issue 2.56 crore preference shares worth Rs 238 crore to Kryfs’s shareholders: Saifuddin Fakhruddin Qureishi, Rauzat Saifuddin Qureishi, and Aalliyah Qureishi as part of the transaction. Importantly, it remains unclear whether the remaining 49% stake will be settled in cash or in a future transaction. Queries sent to Zetwerk remained unanswered at the time of publication. The potential acquisition comes just after the company has received Rs 600 crore from its founder-owned entity Creovate Innovation. Entrackr had exclusively reported this development.

Adding established, revenue-generating companies like KRYFS will strengthen its manufacturing base and sharpen its positioning ahead of the listing.
