Jashvik Capital, a mid‑market private equity firm, has announced an investment exceeding INR 400 crore in Marg ERP, a leading Indian provider of ERP and inventory management software for small and medium enterprises.
The funding aims to accelerate product innovation, enhance customer focus, and drive expansion across both domestic and international markets.
Founded in 2000 by Anup Singh Thakur, Sudhir Singh Thakur and Mahendar Singh, Marg ERP has developed significant expertise in the pharmaceutical value chain. The company claims to serve more than 500,000 subscribers across healthcare, FMCG and retail sectors in India and 32 other countries. In India, almost half of the pharmaceutical distribution and retail businesses use Marg's software solutions. Its growth rate of over 25 percent annually has been largely driven by word‑of‑mouth referrals and supported by more than 850 channel partners across over 650 cities.
The investment from Jashvik Capital is expected to help Marg ERP pursue both organic and inorganic growth strategies.
Anup Singh Thakur, Chairman and Managing Director of Marg ERP, said, "We look forward to leveraging Jashvik Capital's deep expertise in healthcare, pharma and health tech to take Marg to its next orbit and build a global healthcare SaaS leader out of India. By empowering industry participants like retailers, distributors, manufacturers, hospitals and physicians, we aim to enhance patient access to affordable healthcare and help improve patient outcomes. Together, we plan to build a truly world‑class healthcare technology infrastructure company. We also plan to deepen our footprint in international markets through our recently launched cloud‑based accounting and ERP product, Marg Book."
Naresh Patwari, Founder and Managing Partner at Jashvik Capital, said, "Having known the founders of Marg ERP for the past seven to eight years, we have consistently been impressed by their strategic foresight and passion for using technology to empower entrepreneurs and businesses in the healthcare sector. The founders, their talented employees and their committed channel partners have built a strong, resilient business that is well‑positioned to grow as Indian healthcare shifts toward a value and outcomes‑based model. We are particularly impressed with how Marg is enabling pharmaceutical companies through its ECOD platform and its AI‑enabled ordering and payment solutions."
This marks the fourth investment from Jashvik Capital Fund I and aligns with the firm's strategy of supporting founder‑led businesses that address large‑scale real‑world challenges.
The financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed. Earlier this year, Marg ERP's founders repurchased a 49 percent stake previously held by API Holdings, parent company of PharmEasy and Thyrocare.

Trump: Aug. 1 tariff deadline ‘stands strong'
President Trump on Wednesday indicated there would be no extensions of the deadline at the end of the week, when steep tariffs are set to go into effect on many nations. 'The August first deadline is the August first deadline — It stands strong, and will not be extended. A big day for America!!!' Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump has issued letters to more than a dozen countries informing them of tariff rates they will face to export their goods into the United States beginning Aug. 1. Those include a 25 percent tariff on India, a 35 percent tariff on Bangladesh and a 50 percent tariff on Brazil, among others. The White House has struck deals with a handful of other countries to set lower tariff rates, including with Japan, the European Union, Indonesia and the United Kingdom. Critics have argued the details around those agreements are still scarce and have noted that the tariff rate those countries will pay, while lower than an initial threat, is still higher than it was before Trump took office. The timing and severity of tariffs on other nations have been shifting targets since Trump took office, after he vowed on the campaign trail to aggressively impose duties on imports. He has repeatedly threatened tariffs on other nations, only to back off or delay their imposition. The president on April 2 announced 'reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of other countries, using trade deficits to help calculate the tariff rate. But a week later, he lowered those rates to 10 percent for 90 days as markets reacted negatively, giving time for negotiations. The 90-day window was set to expire in early July, only for Trump to set a new deadline of Aug. 1. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

India hints it will keep buying Russian oil
India has indicated it will defy threats made by US President Donald Trump and continue buying Russian oil. The world's third-largest crude importer - after China and the US - cashed in on cheap Russian oil when its price plummeted after Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Historically, it had bought most of its crude from countries in the Middle East. But this changed after the invasion in February 2022, when western countries slapped sanctions on Russia in a bid to choke off money fuelling Moscow's war chest. It prompted the recent energy crisis that saw household bills in the UK soar. On Friday, the Indian foreign ministry said its relationship with Russia was "steady and time-tested", and warned against viewing it through the lens of another country. Addressing a weekly meeting, spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said India's general position on procuring energy was guided by supply in the markets and prevailing global circumstances. The sentiment was echoed by two further government sources cited by the Reuters news agency. "These are long-term oil contracts," one of the sources said. "It is not so simple to just stop buying overnight." India is highly dependent on oil imports, which supply 87% of its needs, according to the International Energy Agency. The comments follow a threat made by President Trump to impose a 25% tariff on goods from India, as well as an additional import tax, because of New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil. The US president made ending the war in Ukraine a top priority - pledging to do so within his first 24 hours in office. But recently Mr Trump - who has repeatedly praised the Mr Putin over the years - has started to sour on the Russian leader for failing to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. He called it "disappointing" and also threatened new economic sanctions on Russia if progress is not made. Mr Trump also this week said he had ordered two US nuclear submarines to be positioned in the "appropriate regions" in a row with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. The pressure on India comes after it upped it Russian crude purchases from 68,000 barrels per day in January 2022 to 1.12 million barrels per day by June that year. Supplies rose as high as nearly 40% of India's imports at one point, making Russia the largest supplier of crude to New Delhi, according to the Press Trust of India, citing data from analytics firm Kpler. Home to 1.3 billion people, India is expected to become an even bigger oil consumer over the remainder of the decade, fuelled by spectacular growth in its economy, as well as rising population and demographics. Demand has been rising fastest for petrol, with rising household incomes sparking a boom in motorcycle and car ownership.

India responds to U.S. penalty over Russia oil
Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Indian officials confirmed Saturday the country is not altering policy and will continue buying oil from Russia, despite threats of a financial "penalty" from U.S. President Donald Trump. India's government has not given any directive to the country's oil refiners to stop or reduce the amount of Russian crude oil, the New York Times reported, citing two senior Indian officials. Trump earlier this week said he would impose a financial "penalty" on the South Asian country if it did not cut back on its reliance on Russian oil. The sanction would be in addition to a 25% American tariff on Indian goods. The president did not elaborate on the extent of the additional financial "penalty." "Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country, " Trump said in a Truth Social post. "Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE." Trump on Friday said it was his understanding "that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard. I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens." Indian officials told the New York Times the country has "not given any direction to oil companies" to change direction. Publicly, Indian officials said they are considering options without confirming or denying the Times report. "We have taken note of the sanctions, and we are looking into it," Ministry of External Affairs of India spokesman Shri Randhir Jaiswal said during a news conference Friday in New Delhi. "On the other question about proposed oil sale, I would say that I have no comments to offer in this particular matter. As far as sourcing our energy requirements is concerned, you are well aware of our broad approach, meaning our overall approach and stance. We take decisions based on the price at which oil is available in the international market and depending on the global situation at that time. As for the specifics of your particular question, I am not aware of it. I don't have details of these specifics." Jaiswal also attempted to avoid further escalating the situation. "I would also like to underline this particular point that this is a sensitive and complex case and therefore, I would urge all to be mindful that media reports based on speculation and misinformation are not helpful at all," he told reporters. "In so far as the reports claiming that there has been certain developments etc., such reports are incorrect. Please wait for an update from us, this is a sensitive matter, and we urge all sides to stay away from misinformation." Solve the daily Crossword
