Building <div>I worked in the pharmaceutical sector in various roles with a focus on business development, account management in the first part of my career between 2000 to 2015 in India and Europe. Priya and I started indiabizforsale.com together in the year 2013 as a company and launched as a platform in early 2014. <br><br>We started indiabizforsale because we experienced and painfully learnt (at that time) that M&A for a small to medium size business is very, very challenging in India, and we decided to do something about that. <br><br>We launched indiabizforsale.com as a discovery platform (with confidentiality so no one knows which business is looking for an exit or partial exit) for businesses and investors. <br><br>Gradually we started building services on top as we realised that the end goal is a successful business transaction and secured discovery is only the part of the process (large though). <br><br>Now we provide discovery, on-demand services and also advisory services with help of trusted and experienced professionals across India. </div>
