Building

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. 

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. 

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. 

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). 

Now we provide discovery, on-demand services and also advisory services with help of trusted and experienced professionals across India.

    Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting the team at Campus Angels Network, a warm, energizing conversation with founders who bring together deep expertise, strong connections, and genuine passion for helping startup founders find the right backers and partners.

    What stood out just as much was their portfolio, a genuinely impressive line-up of startups they've backed, several of which have progressed to their next stage of growth in remarkably quick time. That's a strong signal of the quality of founders they choose to back, and the hands-on support they bring beyond just capital.

    We spent time exploring how IndiaBizForSale.com and Campus Angels Network can complement each other's ecosystems, supporting founders not just through fund-raising, but also through M&A pathways as businesses scale and mature.

    It's conversations like these that reinforce why India's startup and SME ecosystem works best when platforms and networks collaborate rather than compete.

    Grateful for the generosity and hospitality. Great hosts, better conversation.
    Looking forward to what we build together. 馃
