Scimplify, a platform for sourcing and manufacturing specialty chemicals, has raised $40 million in a Series B funding round co-led by Accel and Bertelsmann India Investments, with participation from UMI and existing investors, including Omnivore and 3one4 Capital. This funding brings Scimplify’s total capital raised to $54 million, following its seed and Series A rounds. The fresh capital will accelerate Scimplify’s export expansion beyond the 16 countries it currently serves while strengthening its presence in key industries such as life sciences, crop sciences, and industrial chemicals, the company said in a press release. Many manufacturers struggle with sourcing raw materials, navigating regulatory requirements, and scaling up production to meet global demand. Scimplify addresses these challenges by offering an end-to-end manufacturing ecosystem, combining in-house scientific expertise with a network of over 200 specialized manufacturing plants across cost-efficient regions in India. Founded by Salil Srivastava and Sachin Santhosh, Scimplify is a B2B fulfillment platform that operates across the product life cycle, from contract research to commercial chemical manufacturing, serving industries such as pharmaceuticals, personal care, and agrochemicals. The company’s plug-and-play model enables global buyers to leverage India’s cost-efficient production capabilities without the burden of setting up dedicated manufacturing facilities. “As global supply chains undergo rapid shifts, customers are actively seeking reliable partners who can provide enterprise-grade R&D and comprehensive solutions for their specialty chemical manufacturing needs. Over the past year and a half, we have built great momentum, and with Accel joining this partnership, we remain steadfast in building a global R&D-led manufacturing company that brings a new-age approach to the modern customer,” said Srivastava. The Bengaluru-based company serves major markets, including the US, Europe, and Japan. Scimplify competes with Mstack, Atomgrid, Covvalent, Distil, and Elchemy.
