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. According to the sources, both co-founders will invest equally in this round. 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. Zetwerk competes with Infra.Market, OfBusiness, and Moglix.

B2B e-commerce unicorn Zetwerk, which is reportedly preparing to file for an initial public offering (IPO), saw its revenue decline in FY25. Despite the slowdown in the top line, the company managed to reduce its losses during the same period. Zetwerk’s gross revenue fell 11% to Rs 12,798 crore in FY25 from Rs 14,443 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Zetwerk is a B2B manufacturing and construction marketplace. The company derives its revenue primarily from trading activities, manufacturing services, and construction and project contracts. Revenue from trading activities, which accounted for 58% of the income, declined 20% to Rs 7,706 crore in FY25. In contrast, revenue from manufacturing services grew 33.5% to Rs 2,682 crore. Income from construction and project contracts slipped 19% to Rs 2,242 crore, while other income stood at Rs 535 crore in FY25. Including non-operating income, Zetwerk’s total income stood at Rs 12,981 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 14,612 crore in FY24. On the expense side, the cost of materials accounted for over 85% of the total expense. This cost declined 17% to Rs 11,232 crore in FY25 from Rs 13,467 crore in FY24. Employee benefit expenses, however, rose 12% to Rs 517 crore, while subcontracting expenses increased 16% to Rs 250 crore. Finance costs remained largely flat at Rs 450 crore, and other expenses added another Rs 670 crore during the year. Overall, Zetwerk reduced its total expenses by 12% to Rs 13,196 crore in FY25 from Rs 15,001 crore in FY24. As a result, its expense-to-revenue ratio improved marginally to 1.03 from 1.04 a year earlier. With GMV declining, procurement costs came down accordingly, and coupled with a sharp drop in exceptional items, the company reduced its losses by 60% to Rs 371 crore in FY25 from Rs 918 crore in FY24. However, the company posted a positive EBITDA of Rs 145 crore in the same period. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to -0.68% and 1.13% respectively. On the balance sheet front, Zetwerk’s cash and bank balances rose sharply to Rs 1,908 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,150 crore a year earlier. The company reported current assets worth Rs 7,840 crore in the same period. According to TheKredible, Zetwerk has raised a total of $889 million of funding till date, having Greenoaks, Peak XV Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Accel as its lead investors. In April last year, Zetwerk had indicated that it was targeting a public listing within a 12 to 24 month period. The company is expected to file its draft prospectus this year through the confidential route for its $750 million IPO, which would be among the larger public market debuts by an India-based manufacturing company.
