Soptle, a Gurugram, India-based SaaS-led B2B marketplace for FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) manufacturers and retailers, raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round. 

The round was led by Kube VC, along with We Founder Circle, with participation from Iceland Venture Studio (IVS), Nyra Ventures, and founders of Dunzo, and the managing partner of Rocketship.vc. Existing investors, Kube VC and Dunzo founder Ankur Agarwal - also participated in the funding round. 

Soptle plans to use the funds to expand its retailer-network reach and manufacturing-partner footprint across India, along with new product offerings and technology enhancement. 

"When I started Soptle, my aim was to help the humble Kirana store owner in small towns and cities. I never had any doubt about both the idea behind Soptle and India's untapped potential. Our team has worked hard to make this idea grow, and the pre-seed round is a validation of our efforts. The pre-seed round is another step towards many new milestones. I am thankful to both the Soptle team and the investors for their partnership and passion," said Pravas Chandragiri, CEO and founder, of Soptle.
