Earlier this year, Bizongo had closed its Series C round by raising $51 million, and now, the total funds garnered by the startup to date stand at $187 million.

In an earlier report, Bizongo said it turned profitable and expected to clock a revenue of $300 million by the end of the current financial year.

The company said it has already surpassed the Annual Revenue Run Rate of $200 million with exponential business growth in its customer segments across fashion and lifestyle.

“With the pent-up festive demand, the company envisages to cross at least $300 million in annualised revenue by end of this fiscal year,” Bizongo Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Ankit Tomar said in a statement.

The company said its Average Contract Value is $2.4 million — three times more as compared to the same period last year. On average, the business has onboarded over 10 medium-to-large-sized enterprise customers every month since the pandemic.

Bizongo said it primarily draws its revenue from Indian customers and claimed to have started seeing early traction in Bangladesh, Thailand, the Middle East, and the UK, where it is working with customers in the healthcare and fashion industry.
