“Specialty Chemicals as a sector is undergoing a revolution driven by leaps in globalization, technology, and logistics. But more opportunity has also created complexity, making it difficult for procurement teams to find quality suppliers. In addition, a fragmented supplier base and a lack of supply chain transparency make it even more challenging,” said Sandeep Singh, co-founder of Covvalent.
Covvalent, a platform founded in 2022 by Sandeep Singh and Arush Dhawan, intends to upend the $800 billion specialty chemicals market by assisting customers in locating the bulk of their raw materials at the needed quality and within specified timeframes.
