Udaan’s struggles sharpen focus on profitable B2B e-commerce models
As Udaan faces financial stress, B2B peers including OfBusiness, Moglix, Infra Market and Zetwerk are leaning on category focus, supply-chain control, embedded finance and value-added services. India’s funded B2B e-commerce sector has raised $10.4 billion and is projected to reach about $12 billion by 2028.
Udaan’s financial stress highlights thin B2B marketplace margins and cash burn. Peers such as OfBusiness, Moglix, Infra Market and Zetwerk are pursuing category specialization, supply-chain control, embedded finance and higher-margin services to build sustainable profitability.
Why this matters
The signal follows Udaan’s $160M raise and its inventory-led “DMart for shopkeepers” pivot amid insolvency concerns, highlighting how B2B rivals are prioritizing durable unit economics.
