Distribution and supply-chain platform Ripplr has raised $45 million in its Series C funding round, backed by the State Bank of India (SBI) along with participation from existing investors including 3one4 Capital, Zephyr Peacock and Sojitz Corporation. The development was disclosed through a blog post by 3one4 Capital, with the company yet to officially announce the round.
Fresh Capital to Strengthen Distribution Infrastructure
According to earlier reports, around $30–32 million of the total will flow in as primary capital, while another $10 million is likely to be raised through a secondary sale, allowing early shareholders partial exits. Prior to this round, Ripplr had secured more than $56 million across a mix of equity and debt instruments.
Founded by Abhishek Nehru and Santosh Dabke, Ripplr operates a tech-driven, full-stack distribution network designed to help brands digitise and manage end-to-end operations—from demand planning and inventory visibility to last-mile delivery. The platform integrates logistics, execution, retailer engagement and data intelligence into a unified distribution layer for consumer brands.
Expanding Retail Reach and Deepening Brand Partnerships
The company claims to now reach nearly 100,000 retailers, processing hundreds of thousands of orders every month. Its network has grown on the back of consistent execution in India’s complex FMCG distribution landscape, where maintaining supply-chain reliability and real-time visibility remain key challenges.
Ripplr manages distribution and supply chains for leading consumer companies including Hindustan Unilever, Nestlé, Tata Consumer, Godrej, Nivea and Dabur, strengthening its position as one of India’s prominent distribution-tech operators.
Final Take
With new capital from India’s largest bank and continued backing from marquee investors, Ripplr is positioned to scale its national footprint, deepen category expansion and strengthen infrastructure at a time when consumer brands increasingly seek tech-enabled distribution partners.
