The company is also working on many pilots from a long-term perspective to enhance the vendor-side offerings and enhance client platform experience, claimed by the company in a statement.

"Venwiz is addressing a huge white space in the manufacturing segment of different industries - procurement of industrial services for capex and MRO needs. On the back of their own professional experience, the founding team understands the pain points very well and have the insights to solve the problem through tech in an end to end fashion.The strong adoption of the Venwiz platform from enterprise clients and vendors demonstrates the need for such a solution," said Mandar Dandekar, partner at Sorin Investments.

Founded by Rajesh Reddy and Sandesh Paturi, Venwiz is a SaaS-enabled marketplace, digitising capex and industrial services procurement, focusing on the manufacturing industry.
