About Power2SME
Power2SME, established in 2012, operates as a B2B digital ecosystem focused on India's Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The company was founded by R. Narayan, Debabrata Majumdar, and Snehashish Bhattacharjee to address the procurement challenges faced by smaller businesses. Narayan, the founder and CEO, is a serial entrepreneur and qualified Cost Accountant with extensive experience in sales and marketing at companies like Oracle and Microsoft. His previous venture, Denave, a technology-powered sales services company, provided him with deep insights into the underserved nature of the SME sector, which directly informed the creation of Power2SME.
Read full description
The core of Power2SME's business is a 'Buying Club' model that aggregates the demand for industrial raw materials from numerous SMEs. This collective buying power enables the company to negotiate favorable pricing directly with large manufacturers and suppliers like SAIL, TATA Steel, and IOCL, cutting out intermediary distributors and wholesalers. The company takes ownership of the entire procurement process, from sourcing and quality checks to doorstep delivery, allowing SME clients to focus on their core manufacturing and growth activities. The business generates revenue primarily through a margin-based model, purchasing goods and selling them to SMEs. Additional revenue streams include commissions from financial services and fees for logistics. For the fiscal year 2023, the sale of goods accounted for 99% of its revenue.
Beyond raw material procurement, Power2SME has expanded its services to create a comprehensive support system for SMEs. It offers financial assistance through its platform 'FinanSME,' which connects SMEs with financial institutions to facilitate working capital loans and bill financing. The company also operates 'SMEshops,' an online marketplace for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) products. An online platform allows clients to track purchases, check price quotes, place orders, and monitor delivery status, increasing transparency and operational efficiency. The company serves SMEs with turnovers ranging from Rs. one crore to Rs. 250 crore. With a presence across major Indian cities like Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata, Power2SME supports a registered base of over 55,000 SMEs.
