SC Ventures by Standard Chartered, which builds and invests in breakthrough ventures in and beyond banking, has completed the sale of its incubated venture, Solv India, to Jumbotail, one of Indias leading B2B marketplaces, post obtaining regulatory approval from Competition Commission of India. The combined business is now one of the largest B2B ecommerce platforms in India.

This partnership reflects SC Ventures commitment of advancing financial inclusion and empowering micro-small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) the economic backbone of the markets we serve, said Alex Manson, CEO of SC Ventures. MSME entrepreneurs will be central to shaping a resilient, inclusive and efficient retail ecosystem in India.

Already serving more than 500,000 small retailers across 400 cities in India, the combination of Jumbotail and Solv India will become a strong, horizontal B2B ecommerce platform that supports the diverse commerce and fintech needs of Indias small retailers (kiranas), MSMEs and brands across food and grocery, apparel and fashion, home furnishing, toys and sports, footwear, and consumer electronics.

Rooted in a shared vision of responsible innovation with real impact for Indias entrepreneurs, the platform will empower Indias small retailers and MSMEs through a tech driven B2B ecommerce ecosystem, said Gautam Jain, Chairman of Board, Solv India and Operating Member, SC Ventures. The combined Jumbotail and Solv India platform will help expand and enhance Indias growing B2B ecommerce, which is expected to account for 5% of Indias estimated $6 trillion economy by 2030.

The combined entity will be led by S. Karthik Venkateswaran and Ashish Jhina, Co-Founders of Jumbotail. Gautam Jain will join the board of Jumbotail, representing SC Ventures.

With strong fundamentals, a clear path to profitability and a motivated mission driven team, Jumbotail and Solv India are well positioned to lead Indias B2B commerce transformation across categories of mass market consumption. Our mission isnt just about commerce its about building an industry defining company that supports small businesses, enables job growth, and help build an inclusive economic engine for Indias future, said S. Karthik Venkateswaran, Co-founder and CEO of Jumbotail.
