What is the news?
Piyush Jalan and Rishav Papneja, the Indian origin founders of the Bangalore-based supply chain platform Thimblerr, have secured investment of $1.4 million in a bridge funding round. The strategic capital infusion saw participation from prominent investors, including Inflection Point Ventures, 3one4 Capital, Mount Judi Ventures, and Venture Catalysts.
This investment is earmarked to fuel the company’s objective of making India a premier destination for global fast fashion manufacturing.
Why is it interesting?
The achievement is a significant win for the Global Indian Alpha narrative, highlighting how deep technical expertise (both founders are IIT alumni) is being applied to revolutionize traditional industries with a global vision. Thimblerr’s innovative, tech-enabled supply chain solution integrates design intelligence and cloud factories, allowing brands to rapidly move from concept to delivery.
This model has reduced manufacturing lead times from a typical 180 days down to 30-60 days—a crucial competitive advantage in the fast-paced global fashion industry. The success of Thimblerr provides tangible proof that the Indian founders community is building solutions that enhance India’s infrastructure and global competitiveness.
