Engineering and manufacturing solutions company Wootzwork has raised $6.6 million in a Series A round of funding led by Z47 with continued participation from Nexus Venture Partners and AdvantEdge Founders, and the addition of Stride Ventures. The company has previously raised $3.5 Mn in a seed round led by Z47 and Nexus Venture Partners. This brings the total funds raised so far to almost $10mn.  

The capital will be used to expand Wootzwork’s global engineering and program teams, support larger and more complex OEM programs, and scale its manufacturing control systems across regions.

Global manufacturing contributes to 15% of global GDP and is estimated to be worth ≈ USD 14.85 trillion in 2025 and is projected to grow to ≈ USD 20.76 trillion by 2032, a ~4.9% CAGR from 2025 to 2032. 

As industrial supply chains globalise, execution has become increasingly fragmented. Projects now span multiple countries, dozens of suppliers, and different quality frameworks, creating coordination gaps that lead to delays, rework, and cost overruns. It is estimated that 15 to 30 percent of anticipated offshore savings are typically lost through these breakdowns. Wootzwork was built as an alternative to that model. The company operates as a single, accountable manufacturing partner to global OEMs for complex industrial programs across India and Southeast Asia, with onshore manufacturing where required in customer markets. 

Modern OEM programs involve high-mix components and specialised processes that rarely reside within a single facility and capacity is typically distributed across multiple suppliers.  By mapping, qualifying, and governing manufacturing capacity across regions, Wootzwork orchestrates the journey of a product from concept to factory-level output in weeks rather than years. For global enterprises, this translates into faster time to production which allows them to stay focused on product, engineering, and customers instead of execution complexity. 

Wootzwork operates with engineering and program teams across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany, enabling close coordination with enterprise customers while retaining deep on-ground manufacturing control. Over the past year, Wootzwork has executed highly complex, cross-border manufacturing programs for more than 22 global enterprises across 12 international trade lanes spanning North America, Europe, and APAC. These include the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Wootzwork is founded by Karan Anand and Himanshu Uniyal who come with years of experience in cross border strategy, scaling operations, engineering systems and manufacturing execution.  

“Most companies treat manufacturing complexity as a risk to be minimised,” said Karan Anand, co-founder and CEO of Wootzwork. “We treat it as a competitive advantage. When the system is engineered properly, complexity becomes leverage - not chaos.”  

“Wootzwork represents the kind of founder-led global ambition in advanced manufacturing that we want to back from India,” said Sudipto Sannigrahi, Managing Partner and Investor at Z47. “Karan and Himanshu have built deep execution capability in a space where trust is earned over years, not quarters. We are happy to see the AI driven manufacturing engine that Wootzwork has built and the quality of global customers they are adding value to. We’re proud to support them with patient capital, conviction, and partnership as they build a globally relevant manufacturing company.”

The company has activated a network of more than 300 suppliers, executing over 30 million parts and assemblies across precision components, heavy and structural fabrication, industrial fasteners and hardware, custom industrial machines, process equipment and skids, and multi-part assemblies. Programs span industries including food processing, packaging, renewable energy, data centres, automotive engineering, material handling, warehousing, and industrial hardware. Across these programs, Wootzwork has maintained greater than 98 percent on-time delivery and quality compliance under stringent international quality frameworks. 

“Even as a relatively new partner, Wootzwork moved very quickly to support us across a broad range of work, including programs tied to demanding end customers,” said Felix Franke, managing director at Saxonia-Franke GmbH & Co. KG. “Their ability to ramp up fast while maintaining quality gave us confidence early on.” 

Under the hood, Wootzwork overlays its proprietary engineering, governance, and execution systems on top of existing factory infrastructure, enabling manufacturing partners to operate at global standards without being replaced or rebuilt. “Scale usually breaks quality because systems don’t scale with it,” explains Himanshu Uniyal, co-founder and COO of Wootzwork. “We built the system so quality scales with execution, not against it.” 

The Series A will enable Wootzwork to expand its engineering footprint, deepen its manufacturing control capabilities, and take on larger, more mission-critical OEM programs. As global supply chains continue to rebalance, the company believes the next phase of industrial manufacturing will be defined less by geography and more by who owns execution.
