The live market for India's metal trade

Why we built it

A buyer who needs 20 MT of Zn 99.995 today calls the six suppliers they already know, asks each for a price, finds half are out of stock, and then asks around WhatsApp groups. It takes a day or two and the information is stale by the time it is gathered. Sellers have the mirror problem: they are holding material and the buyers who need it do not know.

Neither side has a searchable, current view of the market. That is the only thing we are trying to fix.

What we are not

We are not a trader. We do not buy or sell metal, take title or custody, handle payment, extend credit, or arrange transport. When both sides confirm a deal, each pays us a flat 0.1% commission on its value; the trade money itself never passes through us. We are a connection service, and the responsibility for payment, credit, quality and delivery sits with the two businesses doing the trade.
