Our Story About IBGrid

Our Vision

Every business that starts will one day need to grow, raise capital, find a partner, or exit.
IndiaBizForSale is built to be there at every stage.

Our ambition is simple: every business with a GST number should be on IndiaBizForSale — as a buyer, seller, investor, fundraiser, or partner. From India, and increasingly from across the world.

Our Mission

To make every business transaction seamless, direct, and trustworthy — through a confidential marketplace and a world-class advisory ecosystem.

We started with India's SME market. Today we serve businesses and investors across borders. The focus remains: remove the friction, protect confidentiality, connect the right people directly.

Make capital, acquirers, and expert advisory accessible to every Indian SME — regardless of size, sector, or stage

Match every business with the right buyers, investors, and partners — not just any inquiry

Keep every introduction direct and confidential

Build a trustworthy ecosystem of verified businesses and investors

Connect Indian businesses with global capital opportunity

Our Story

Built from lived experience, not theory

“

People would call without any context. We had no idea who they were or whether they were serious. Sharing sensitive business information with strangers felt uncomfortable and risky. The whole process was deeply inefficient.

— Bhavin S. Bhagat, Co-Founder & CEO

In 2006, our family entered a joint venture in a contract pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. By 2010, we were facing serious management challenges — and we needed to find a buyer or investor, quietly.

We couldn't afford for word to get out. Employees, clients, suppliers — none of them could know the business was on the market. So we did what everyone did: placed an advertisement in a Delhi newspaper. It cost ₹28,000. We got a handful of inquiries. Nothing materialised.

We went looking for a better way. In the US and UK, we found a mature ecosystem for business exits — platforms, advisors, structured processes. Indian SMEs had none of that. Thousands of business owners were navigating the same painful, opaque journey, completely alone.

That gap is what IndiaBizForSale was built to close — in 2013, with Priya. A confidential, structured marketplace where Indian business owners could find the right buyer or investor, on their own terms.

Since 2013Building India's largest transaction network

How it grew

Around 2017–18, accepted into the accelerator at CIIE, IIM Ahmedabad. In 2022, formally launched IBGrid for end-to-end M&A advisory. Today India's largest business transaction network — and still growing.

What we stand for

Our principles

Three commitments that were true on day one and remain unchanged today.

Confidentiality first

No identity is exposed to anyone — whether it's a business, investor, or advisor. Details are shared only when a connection is made. This has been our founding principle since day one, and it never changes.

Direct connections

Business owners and investors connect with each other directly. Once an introduction is made, both sides exchange contact details and take the conversation forward themselves — on their own terms.

Access to serious counterparties

Every member — buyer, seller, investor, or advisor — is part of a verified, professional network. You connect with people who are genuinely serious, not tyre-kickers responding to a public ad.

Founders & Advisory Leadership

The people behind the platform

Combined, our founding team brings over 60 years of experience across pharma, fintech, finance, investment banking, and M&A advisory.
