Atomgrid, an R&D-first platform for contract development, manufacturing and sourcing of specialty chemicals, has raised Rs 10 crore (around $1.2 million) in its seed round led by Merak Ventures.
The round also saw participation from Dexter Ventures, Upsparks, Point One Capital and UniCards’s founders Nitin Gupta and Prateek Jindal.
The proceeds will be used to expand its in-house R&D infrastructure, increase global outreach, build a supply chain tech platform and hirings, the firm said in a press release.
Founded by Lakshit Bansal, Siddharth Gupta and Pratik Chowdhury, Atomgrid is an R&D first platform for contract development, manufacturing and sourcing of specialty chemicals.
The platform aims to empower Indian chemical manufacturers to establish a global footprint by solving critical challenges faced by them on R&D, global outreach, raw material sourcing and tech enablement.
Atomgrid competes with 3one4 Capital-backd Scimplifi and Nexus-backed Covvalent.
The investment in Atomgrid marks Merak’s third significant investment of the year. Previously, it invested in Farmtheory and Rupyz.
