The startup said it is expanding B2B platform in India, and is anticipated to achieve an annualized revenue run rate of USD 200 million by the end of FY24, demonstrating a growth of over 15 times in the past two years.

It claims to cater over 1,000+ customers across 450 markets and has recently launched new categories across copper, aluminium, metal scrap and has built out a global footprint of processing centers, recycling networks and 1,000+ suppliers across 80 geographies.

Nandan Venkatachalam, Principal at Axilor Ventures, commented, "Metalbook has demonstrated strong, capital efficient execution and ability to expand into new verticals. They have emerged into one of the fastest growing marketplace businesses in the world. We are glad to double down on this round as they continue to build out their global footprint and add new business verticals.
