Scimplify Raises $25 Million to Expand Specialty Chemicals Operations Globally
Scimplify, a Bengaluru-based specialty chemicals startup, has raised $25 million in a funding round led by Hitachi Ventures, with strategic investors including Teknor Apex and Henkel. The company plans to use the capital to expand research labs, enhance its AI platform SciNode, and grow its presence in the US and Europe, particularly in advanced materials for semiconductors and batteries. Overseas markets currently account for about half of its revenue, which is expected to increase amid rising demand and supply chain diversification.
