Imagine being a small or medium-sized business owner in India, with a quality product and big dreams of selling it across borders. But then come the hurdles—complex documentation, currency issues, regulations that shift overnight, and the never-ending worry of compliance. Most SMEs drop the idea right there. But what if there was a one-stop platform that could handle it all?
That’s exactly the problem Xindus set out to solve. And now, with $10 million freshly secured in a Series A funding round, the startup is gearing up to rewrite the rules of cross-border trade—especially for India’s underserved SME sector.
In an announcement made on Thursday, Xindus revealed that its latest round was led by 3one4 Capital, a name well-known in India’s early-stage investment space. Orios Venture Partners co-led the round, with additional backing from Shastra VC and Caret Capital—a show of strong investor confidence in a sector that is becoming increasingly vital to India’s economic ambitions.
Xindus Funding
Founded in 2022 by Saurabh Goyal (CEO), along with co-founders Madan Mohan, Jaikaar Singh, and Saptarshi Datta, Xindus offers a full-stack digital platform that makes international trade less daunting for SMEs.
Their services span the entire trade journey—from order fulfillment and shipping, to compliance with global trade regulations, and even cross-border financial management. Simply put, Xindus acts as a digital bridge between Indian SMEs and the world.
“We want to simplify global trade so that Indian businesses can scale without getting stuck in red tape,” said Goyal, reflecting the startup’s mission-driven ethos. “With this funding, we are committed to delivering scalable solutions that make global expansion more accessible for SMEs.”
The Road Ahead: From 0 to 10,000 in 18 Months
With fresh capital in hand, Xindus is now aiming for massive growth. Their ambitious roadmap includes onboarding 10,000 customers in the next 18 months, and driving their Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) to a whopping $200 million.
That’s not just optimism—it’s a calculated bet on a booming sector. As the world moves towards more decentralized and digital-first supply chains, Indian SMEs are poised to play a much bigger role in global trade. But they need the right tools—and that’s where Xindus fits in.
India to the World: Strengthening Key Trade Corridors
As part of its strategic vision, Xindus is zeroing in on the India-US trade corridor, while also expanding into major export markets including the UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East.
These regions represent massive opportunities for Indian sellers, especially as demand grows for Indian textiles, consumer goods, electronics, and more. But every market has its own rules—and that’s why platforms like Xindus, which already integrates with over 200 global marketplaces, are critical.
By offering seamless connectivity and end-to-end support, the platform takes the heavy lifting off exporters, helping them focus on scaling rather than struggling.
The Tech Advantage: Cutting Costs and Red Tape
One of Xindus’ strongest USPs is its ability to reduce the cost and complexity of cross-border trade by up to 20%. That’s huge in a sector where even a small error or delay can translate into significant losses.
Whether it’s automated documentation, real-time compliance updates, or integrated shipping solutions, Xindus’ platform offers a tech-first approach to a traditionally bureaucratic process. It’s this innovation that has investors excited—and small businesses relieved.
The platform also supports compliance with dynamic trade regulations, like the frequently updated tariff norms in the US and EU. Staying compliant used to mean hiring expensive consultants or burning hours in research. Now, it’s a few clicks away.
Why This Matters: The Bigger Picture
India’s export ambitions are no secret. The government’s focus on boosting exports, especially from small and medium-sized enterprises, is part of a broader strategy to become a global manufacturing and trade powerhouse. But access has always been the problem.
Xindus is stepping in to democratize global trade, making it not just a dream for big corporates but a possibility for thousands of small businesses tucked away in Indian towns and cities.
With this funding round, Xindus isn’t just scaling its operations—it’s amplifying a movement. One where Made in India products don’t just stay local, but travel far and wide, with ease.
As Xindus scales, it will likely become a central player in the new wave of tech-powered trade platforms. Its success could inspire a new generation of startups that blend logistics, compliance, and fintech to unlock India’s global potential.
The next 18 months will be crucial—not just for the startup, but for the countless SMEs it aims to empower. And if things go as planned, India might just become a little more global, one shipment at a time.
