Costing/Estimation Head

About us:

We are a company committed to transforming cross-border trade and establishing ourselves as the world's largest construction materials supplier. We're here to make cross-border sourcing as easy and secure as buying things at the store.

The global building materials industry is worth $1.4 trillion, but its supply chain is currently managed with low reliability, transparency, and efficiency. Our goal is to bring the necessary manufacturing innovation to the global building materials supply base, allowing for a simple, efficient, and painless experience.

Simply put, we're using technology to improve how people around the world buy building and construction materials.

Who are our Investors, Advisors and why do they back us?

To date, we've raised $15 million from Lightspeed India, India Quotient, Saama Capital, and other notable investors, including Kunal Shah of Cred, Shashank and Harshil of Razorpay, and Harsh of Fynd, all of whom have built billion-dollar companies.

We have grown over 100% M-o-M in the last 12 months across both business and team sizes, and we are rapidly expanding our teams to meet this growing global demand.

Who are our Founders?

Shaily Garg, a graduate of IIT Bombay, is on a mission to transform cross-border materials trade. Forbes named her one of the top 30 under 30 achievers in the world. She has also received a SheMaker award for her contributions to the manufacturing industry as a woman innovator.

Ashish Chandra is a graduate of IIT Delhi and a former PwC director with extensive experience in the UK and Middle East markets.

Both founders have extensive manufacturing, logistics, and trade finance experience.

Why do our customers love us?

Essentially, we use technology to help our clients obtain building products from anywhere on the planet and deliver them to their doorstep - quickly, reliably, and at the best possible price, all while providing an unmatched customer experience.

Customers love us because we make their lives easier all over the world. This is innovation in a business that has remained largely unchanged for nearly two centuries.
