Houston, Dallas: Wootzwork has raised $6.6 million in a Series A round to scale its single-point accountability model for offshore manufacturing, aiming to bring predictability and execution control to global OEM programs across India and Southeast Asia.
As global manufacturing shifts across regions, supply chains, and regulatory environments, execution risk has become a key constraint on industrial growth.
For many OEMs, the challenge is no longer access to factories, but the complexity of coordinating dozens of suppliers, quality systems, timelines, and interfaces across borders.
Wootzwork was built to address this problem by operating as a single, accountable manufacturing partner for complex industrial programs.
The $6.6 million Series A round was led by Z47, with continued participation from Nexus Venture Partners and AdvantEdge Founders, along with the addition of Stride Ventures.
The capital will enable Wootzwork to expand its global engineering and program teams, support larger and more complex OEM engagements, and scale its manufacturing control systems across regions.

Addressing Fragmented Global Supply Chains
As industrial supply chains globalise, execution has become increasingly fragmented.
Programs often span multiple countries, dozens of suppliers, and varied quality frameworks, creating coordination gaps that can result in delays, rework, and cost overruns. Industry estimates suggest that 15 to 30 percent of anticipated offshore savings are typically lost due to such breakdowns.
Wootzwork positions itself as an alternative to this fragmented model by offering a unified execution framework. The company operates across India and Southeast Asia, with on-shore manufacturing where required in customer markets, allowing OEMs to execute at scale without directly managing factories, interfaces, or execution risks.
Its engineering and program teams are based across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, enabling coordination with enterprise customers while maintaining on-ground manufacturing oversight.
“Most companies treat manufacturing complexity as a risk to be minimised,” said Karan Anand, co-founder and CEO of Wootzwork. “We treat it as a competitive advantage. When the system is engineered properly, complexity becomes leverage – not chaos.”
Enabling Faster Time to Production
Modern OEM programs often involve high-mix parts, specialised processes, and sequencing that rarely exist under a single roof. Even when capacity is available, the appropriate machine, process maturity, or quality discipline is typically fragmented across suppliers.
By mapping, qualifying, and governing manufacturing capacity across regions, Wootzwork orchestrates the product journey from concept to factory-level output within weeks rather than years.
For global enterprises, this approach translates into faster time to production, fewer internal resources tied up in supplier coordination, and end-to-end visibility from raw materials to final delivery.
Over the past year, Wootzwork has executed complex cross-border manufacturing programs for more than 22 global enterprises across 12 international trade lanes spanning North America, Europe, and APAC, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand.
The company has activated a network of over 300 suppliers and executed more than 30 million parts and assemblies. These span precision components, heavy and structural fabrication, industrial fasteners and hardware, custom industrial machines, process equipment and skids, and multi-part assemblies.
Programs have served industries including food processing, packaging, renewable energy, data centres, automotive engineering, material handling, warehousing, and industrial hardware.

Across these engagements, Wootzwork has maintained more than 98 percent on-time delivery and quality compliance under stringent international standards.
“Even as a relatively new partner, Wootzwork moved very quickly to support us across a broad range of work, including programs tied to demanding end customers,” said Felix Franke, managing director at Saxonia-Franke GmbH & Co. KG. “Their ability to ramp up fast while maintaining quality gave us confidence early on.”
“Working with Wootzwork has been a seamless experience,” added Curtis Bishop, director of sales at AFC Industries. “The team stands out for its responsiveness and ability to stay flexible as our requirements evolve. Their quoting process is extremely thorough, and they remain highly adaptable to our needs. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Wootzwork in 2026 and beyond.”
Wootzwork: AI-Driven Manufacturing Governance
Under its operating model, Wootzwork overlays proprietary engineering, governance, and execution systems onto existing factory infrastructure. This allows manufacturing partners to meet global standards without being replaced or rebuilt.
“Scale usually breaks quality because systems don’t scale with it,” said Himanshu Uniyal, co-founder and COO of Wootzwork. “We built the system so quality scales with execution, not against it.”
Commenting on the investment, Sudipto Sannigrahi, Managing Partner and Investor at Z47, said, “Wootzwork represents the kind of founder-led global ambition in advanced manufacturing that we want to back from India. Karan and Himanshu have built deep execution capability in a space where trust is earned over years, not quarters.
We are happy to see the AI driven manufacturing engine that Wootzwork has built and the quality of global customers they are adding value to. We’re proud to support them with patient capital, conviction, and partnership as they build a globally relevant manufacturing company.”
With the Series A funding, Wootzwork plans to expand its engineering footprint, strengthen manufacturing control capabilities, and take on larger, mission-critical OEM programs. As global supply chains continue to rebalance, Wootzwork aims to position execution ownership – not geography – as the defining factor of next-generation industrial manufacturing.
