Divyaanshu Makkar returned to entrepreneurship after consulting, running Connect2Teach, and spending a year at Bessemer Venture Partners. He and cofounders Vikas and Manuel chose manufacturing because it was a large, changing, under-digitized market with fewer fashionable competitors. Before writing production code, they spent four to five months meeting roughly 100 factories across Panipat, Moradabad, Jaipur, and other Indian manufacturing hubs, sometimes shadowing owners for weeks. The first concept became a SaaS-enabled marketplace after a Figma prototype attracted paid commitments. Sourcewiz started on the sales and marketing side of the factory because legacy ERP systems carried too much baggage. Its tools digitize catalogs, quotations, costing, trade-show follow-up, buyer inquiries, and product discovery. The first customer paid 30,000 rupees in November after a pro forma invoice. The team then used field sales to reach about 400 paid customers, with roughly 80 more joining each month, while testing marketplace demand with buyers in Dubai and elsewhere. The founder reported $200K–$250K ARR at the time of the interview.
