Bengaluru-based Scimplify raised $25 million in an all-equity round led by Hitachi Ventures, with customers Henkel and Teknor Apex joining, bringing its total equity funding to $80 million. A person familiar with the deal put the post-money valuation at $250 million. The startup develops manufacturing processes in its labs in Bengaluru and Hyderabad and hands them to partner factories, using its AI platform Scinode to coordinate; co-founder Sachin Santhosh says it has gone from customer requirements to finished material in two months, versus the usual 12 to 18.
