The Yarn Bazaar - Growth Catalyst/Program Manager

About Us:

The Yarn Bazaar is a Managed (full stack) B2B Marketplace solving the problem of broken supply chain & working capital constraints in textiles (Yarn) - a huge, yet highly fragmented market that we are looking to disrupt. Founded in July 2019, Pratik Gadia conceptualised the idea of The Yarn Bazaar while working for his family business in Textile Manufacturing having personally experienced multiple constraints due to a severely broken supply chain. Since July 2019, we are proud to have already completed 100% advance payment transactions worth over - 400 crores, with no credit, working capital, financing, or inventory. The Yarn Bazaar was featured on Shark Tank India where we raised funding from 4 of the esteemed sharks. You can see our Shark Tank pitch HERE.

Recently, The Yarn Bazaar also raised Rs 150 million in the pre-Series A round to expand operations, increase market reach, and strengthen the technological infrastructure. More details HERE.
