Supply chain financing company Mintifi scores $110m Series D

Mintifi, an India-based supply chain financing platform, has reportedly received $110m in a Series D round.

The investment was led by the family office Premji Invest, according to a report from Deal Street Asia. Mintifi existing backers Norwest Venture Partners, Elevation Capital and International Finance Corporation, also participated in the Series D.

According to the Economic Times India, 90% of the Series D was raised through selling new shares. The remaining 10% was raised through secondary shares. The report also claims Mintifi is profitable and is forecasting between $8m and $10m profit after tax for fiscal year 2023.

With the funds, the FinTech company hopes to bolster its position in key sectors and release new services, including B2B payments and dealer management tools. Funds have also been earmarked to help Mintifi expand its loan book.

Mintifi claims to be revolutionising inventory financing for SMEs. It offers on-demand credit lines, which can be used to buy inventory. Its other offerings are business loans, which can be repaid over 6 to 24 months.
