Karkhana.io digitalising contract manufacturing sector
Karthik MC, Chief Revenue Officer, Karkhana.io
Karkhana.io, an innovative digital platform, is reshaping India's sourcing and contract manufacturing sector. Boasting a network spanning over 500 suppliers nationwide, Karkhana.io is dedicated to enhancing productivity and optimising capacity utilisation within India's vibrant supply ecosystem.
Founded by Sonam Motwani from IIT Bombay five years ago, Karkhana.io has evolved from offering prototyping services to providing comprehensive contract manufacturing solutions. Their current customer base exceeds 200; the platform has emerged as a pivotal player in India's manufacturing landscape. Karthik MC, Chief Revenue Officer, Karkhana.io, elaborated, “The platform caters to a diverse array of sectors, including electric vehicles (EVs), battery packs, medical devices, aerospace and drone components, IoT devices, and consumer electronics. These burgeoning industries present unique challenges, necessitating agile and dependable solutions. Over the past half-decade, Karkhana.io has meticulously assessed its suppliers' capabilities to ensure readiness to meet evolving manufacturing demands.”
Karkhana.io's suppliers primarily consist of MSMEs. These businesses vary in turnover, ranging from ? 70 million to ? 2-2.5 billion. Majorly, the suppliers are family-run enterprises.
“The adoption is quicker because you have lot of suppliers with underutilised capacity which is around 30-40 per cent. If one looks at most of the MSMEs their capacity utilisation is around 30-50 per cent and they also have the risk of overdependence on one or two customers. When any one of their customer’s account gets shut, they have no plan B. So these are the kind of suppliers we can support the most. Since we aggregate demand, so in some sense we are like a mutual fund, we de-risk. If one customer drops we still have a basket of customers to help their capacity utilisation. Depending on the industry the kind of project management skills required, may not be a competence they can completely build in. For example the aerospace industry, the documentation requirement is extremely stringent, they may not have the capability or the business may not have that kind of team. Since we aggregate for the industry, we can help them out with quality management, documentation, onboarding requirements and more. We are able to offer a complete solution,” explained Karthik.
At Hannover Messe 2024, Karkhana.io showcased India as a premier sourcing destination, offering reliability and efficiency in the process. Karthik informed, “The customer base primarily comprises medium-sized family-run businesses or well-funded startups. These companies because they have quick decision-making processes, and turnovers ranging from ?15-20 billion. Since their supply chains may not always adhere to the highest professional standards. Karkhana slips in to help out.”
Looking ahead, Karkhana.io aims to expand its global footprint, targeting 10 per cent of its turnover from exports by 2024. The company visions to establish a robust presence in the United States, leveraging existing positive sentiments towards Indian manufacturing as well as Germany for the strong industrial ecosystem present. As the platform continues to innovate and collaborate, it remains committed to driving growth and sustainability across India's manufacturing sector.
