AL Circle: You have been a part of this organisation since 2022. How has your journey been so far?
Tushar Kamat: I joined Bizongo as the Chief Business Officer in September 2022 to scale the business to the next level of profitable growth through innovation and operational excellence. Our integral role in B2B supply chain financing, supporting commerce trades and trade financing, has made my 20-month tenure immensely exciting. During my tenure here, we have repositioned Bizongo from a packaging solutions provider to a B2B e-commerce platform that enables embedded supply chain financing and integrated raw material sourcing for businesses. Being part of this dynamic environment has been fulfilling, and I remain committed to driving growth, innovation, and value creation for our stakeholders.

AL Circle: Tell us about Bizongo’s journey from inception to its foray into the B2B vendor digitisation space and the challenges it has encountered post it began in 2014, aiming to revolutionise the vendor digitisation space? How has the company's vision evolved since then?

Tushar Kamat: Back in 2017, when we took our platform live, we started transforming the packaging industry. Given our innovative SaaS offering applies to any industry, we gradually expanded to Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, Home & Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, e-commerce / Retail and Supply Chain. Bizongo has been focusing on capital goods for the last few months. We have been expanding aggressively in the Raw Material Procurement segment, particularly in the Steel and Aluminium sector. Our vendor digitisation platform addresses the intricate challenges inherent in the B2B sector for customised goods, specifically focusing on the traditionally underserved SME market. What sets us apart is our unshakeable commitment to cloud-enabled participants throughout the supply chain, going beyond mere lead generation and discovery.
