About Business
Business Model: Aggregator platform

Digital event marketplace is raising ₹20,00,000 to build and launch a price-first platform connecting customers with local and emerging event vendors. Vendor subscriptions start at ₹999 per year, making this one of the lowest-cost entry points for vendors in the online event services space.
The platform addresses a two-sided gap: customers with fixed event budgets struggle to find affordable vendors, while small and emerging vendors face high upfront costs on existing platforms. The marketplace allows customers to filter vendors by budget across categories — photography, decoration, catering, makeup, venue, DJ, mehendi, and more — for events including weddings, birthdays, engagements, corporate functions, baby showers, and anniversaries.
On the vendor side, registration is free. Vendors receive two customer leads at no charge, allowing them to experience the platform before committing to a paid plan. Subscription tiers are priced at ₹999, ₹5,999, and ₹9,999 per year, with higher tiers unlocking greater lead volume and marketplace visibility. Primary revenue is derived entirely from these vendor subscriptions; the model does not rely on customer booking commissions in its initial phase.
Customer acquisition is planned through Meta Ads, Google Search, Instagram, local SEO, and budget-focused content targeting search intent such as “wedding photographer under ₹20,000” or “birthday decoration under ₹5,000.” Vendor acquisition will be driven by WhatsApp outreach, direct calling, local field sales, and free registration campaigns.
