Scimplify Secures $40M Series B to Revolutionize Sustainable Specialty Chemicals

Bengaluru, India – April 22, 2025 – Scimplify, a leading B2B platform for end-to-end contract manufacturing of specialty chemicals, has raised $40 million in a Series B funding round co-led by Accel and Bertelsmann India Investments. The round saw participation from UMI, Omnivore, and 3one4 Capital, bringing the company’s total funding to $54 million. This infusion of capital will accelerate Scimplify’s mission to transform the global specialty chemicals industry with a focus on sustainable agrochemicals, pharmaceutical APIs, and flavors & fragrances.

Founded in 2023 by Salil Srivastava and Sachin Santhosh, Scimplify leverages India’s expertise in green chemistry to meet the rising global demand for sustainable chemical solutions. The Bengaluru-based company has rapidly scaled its operations, building a robust network of over 150 factories across Karnataka, Hyderabad, and Gujarat. With exports to 16+ countries, including UAE, Egypt, New Zealand, Vietnam, Jordan, and Taiwan, Scimplify serves more than 600 clients in life sciences, crop sciences, and industrial chemicals.

The $40 million Series B follows a $9.5 million Series A in August 2024, led by Omnivore with Bertelsmann India Investments, 3one4 Capital, and Beenext, and a $3.67 million seed round in December 2023 from 3one4 Capital and Beenext. The new funding will fuel Scimplify’s expansion, enhance its cutting-edge R&D facility in Hyderabad, and further streamline its manufacturing network to capture a significant share of the $800 billion specialty chemicals market.

“Scimplify is redefining the global supply chain for specialty chemicals by combining India’s manufacturing prowess with sustainable innovation,” said Salil Srivastava, Co-Founder and CEO. “This funding empowers us to scale our operations and deliver eco-friendly solutions to meet the evolving needs of our global clients.”

The company’s impact is already evident. By streamlining R&D and manufacturing for sustainable agrochemicals like biostimulants and biofertilizers, Scimplify is positioning India as a leader in green chemistry. Its network of mid-sized factories has the potential to double India’s chemical output within five years, aligning with global supply chain shifts and government incentives.

“Scimplify’s innovative approach to sustainable manufacturing is a game-changer for the specialty chemicals sector,” said a spokesperson from Accel. “We’re thrilled to support their vision of making India a global hub for green chemistry.”

With a strong investor backing from Accel, Bertelsmann India Investments, Omnivore, 3one4 Capital, Beenext, and UMI, Scimplify is poised to drive the next wave of growth in the specialty chemicals industry, delivering sustainable solutions that benefit both businesses and the planet.
