TASConnect, a supply chain financing platform, is expanding its reach in Southeast Asia by acquiring the Malaysian and Vietnamese subsidiaries of Solv, an online marketplace dedicated to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) from India. The acquisition of Solv Malaysia has already been finalized, while the purchase of Solv Vietnam is still in progress.
Following the acquisition, Solv Malaysia will be rebranded as TASConnect Malaysia. A similar rebranding for Solv Vietnam is under consideration. The financial details of these transactions have not been disclosed.
TASConnect, based in Singapore, was developed and launched by SC Ventures, the fintech investment arm of Standard Chartered, in 2022. The company provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed to help businesses scale their supply chain financing capabilities without significant investment in IT or human resources. Their platform enhances efficiencies in accounts payable and receivable financing programs, broadens access to working capital, and automates complex workflows.
Leveraging its new acquisitions, which were both previously incubated by SC Ventures, TASConnect aims to deepen its value chain financing offerings in digital distribution and supplier financing solutions. The company also plans to accelerate its market presence in Malaysia and Vietnam, which it considers crucial markets within the ASEAN region.
Kingshuk Ghoshal, co-founder and CEO of TASConnect, highlighted the role of SC Ventures in identifying the strategic potential of the Solv ventures in Malaysia and Vietnam, which has facilitated TASConnect’s geographic expansion into these key countries.
