We are building a reliable and data-led manufacturing ecosystem," said Sameen Husain, co-founder and CEO, Prodo.
With more than 500 manufacturing units as a part of its network, Prodo empowers its partner manufacturers by providing them with sustainable demand, working capital, raw material, SOPs and technology to bring them up to the standards of global manufacturing.

I believe along with the government's push, startups like Prodo can become key drivers in unlocking the potential of the sector. We're excited to be a part of this story," said Ankur Mittal, co-founder, IPV.
