A year ago we launched our bootstrapped platform GetYourVendor for Indian custom manufacturing companies. It feels just like yesterday when I was writing our first specification document and the first line of code. It was a huge decision to leave a comfortable IT job and jump into entrepreneurship with a vague idea to provide Indian manufacturers a global platform.
Milestones of our journey
Company
The idea to form Indisourcing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. with like-minded people was to deliver the best solution for Indian manufacturing companies. I must admit that we had a false start on technology and suppliers but we quickly turned the tables around to release MVP.
We identified the gap between the vendor and buyer this became the USP of the portal.
- Online search for the specific facility (Manufacturing Setup)
- Online vendor development process
- Virtual showroom for Indian suppliers to reach global buyers
- One-click RFQ access
Team, Associates, and Customers
We formed a talented and passionate team to start our journey. Today we are able to manage more than 1000 supplier’s requirements and have sourced more than 100 RFQ’s. I must mention my partners Girish and Mihir who have been instrumental in executing the plans to achieve our goals. Girish deserves a special mention for his technical knowledge and passion for GetYourVendor which helped us to create a substantial footprint in the market.
We are grateful to:
Mr. Jagdish Maheta (Director, ACG Metalcrafts) and Mr. Nishikant Ahire (CMD AMT Group) for launching our platform in the manufacturing industry.
Anant Waykole (Stead Solve Design & Manufacturing Solutions LLP) 1st customer who believed in our concept.
Neha Thakur (CEO, Digital Elixir It Solutions) as our Digital Marketing partner
Vinil and Prachi Pradhan (Pravi Design) as our development partners.
Meet Thosar for her timely help to select the latest technology platform.
Mr. Satish Varade (Technical Consultant) for being our first associate.
We would like to express our gratitude to all our customers, associates, and well-wishers who believed in us and helped us to reach this milestone.
A big shout out to our young and passionate team for their outstanding work!
Startup Life
As the co-founder and CTO, I faced various challenges starting from setting up the technical infrastructure to sales/marketing strategies. I have spent sleepless nights developing new features. It is more than a full-time job when you are building a product, people, and process. My wife made sure that I get time to focus 100% on GetYourVendor by providing me freedom from family responsibilities. I missed my daughter’s important life milestones like her first step, her 1st word. But now when I look back it gives me immense satisfaction with the progress that we made as a company despite all the challenges.
Future
The future is very exciting and challenging. Against all odds, we believe in our vision to provide the best global platform for Indian manufacturing companies.
So let’s buckle up and see India’s fastest-growing vendor/buyer platform take the world’s modern manufacturing to the next level.
