It's been an incredible journey for our team, since the founding of Venwiz in August 2020 by Rajesh Reddy & Sandesh Paturi. We have achieved memorable milestones on this journey- be it our qualified network of over 10K+ vendors or the trust of enterprise clients like Nestle, Tata Group, ITC, TVS, Kohler & many more.

None of this would have been possible without the efforts of our hardworking team, and our vendor and client network, who have placed their trust in us. To them, we say a big thank you!

Cheers to a brighter future with a great sense of achievement & celebration for team #Venwiz," reads the post. 

The funding round also attracted investments from notable angel investors, including Sanjeev Rangrass, Anshuman Sinha and Prabhav Kashyap. The marketplace has previously raised $3 million in seed funding, bringing the total capital raised by Venwiz to $11.3 million. The funds will be used to improve the product and expand the team.
