Wootzwork positions itself as a single accountable manufacturing partner for global OEMs managing complex industrial programmes across multiple countries and suppliers. As supply chains globalise, fragmentation across regions and quality frameworks often erodes 15 to 30 per cent of anticipated offshore savings, according to the company.
“Most companies treat manufacturing complexity as a risk to be minimised,” said Anand. “We treat it as a competitive advantage. When the system is engineered properly, complexity becomes leverage – not chaos.”
The company operates engineering and programme teams across India, the US, the UK, Italy and Germany, and has executed cross-border manufacturing programmes for more than 22 global enterprises across 12 international trade lanes spanning North America, Europe and APAC.
“Wootzwork represents the kind of founder-led global ambition in advanced manufacturing that we want to back from India,” said Sudipto Sannigrahi, managing partner at Z47. “Karan and Himanshu have built deep execution capability in a space where trust is earned over years, not quarters.”
