Indian Business Pages

What Indian Business Pages does

Indian Business Pages (IBP / IBPHUB) is an India-focused B2B commercial search engine and verified business directory headquartered in Ahmedabad and founded in 2015. Its core offering is a categorized database of businesses spanning 806 districts, 28 states, and 8 union territories across 100+ sectors (agriculture, construction, electronics, healthcare, logistics, transportation, etc.). Businesses can self-register via web or mobile app (Android and iOS), receive OTP-verified listings within 1–2 working days, and are assigned custom webpages with logos, product showcases, Google Maps integration, and inquiry forms. Discovery for end users is accessible via website, mobile apps, SMS, and call center, with voice search as a usability feature.

The platform monetizes through two primary channels: pay-as-you-go business listings starting at INR 1 per day (≈ ₹365/year) targeted at mass MSME adoption, and multi-year directory advertising with tiered placements ranging from INR 12,000 to INR 600,000 plus 18% GST on 3-year rotating displays across web, mobile, and print. A separate SME Partnership tier at INR 431 and affiliation integrations with e-commerce and SaaS platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Fiverr, GetResponse, Pabbly, etc.) broaden the commercial surface. Strategic partnerships with regional chambers (GCCI, FTCCI, FTAPCCI), state industrial bodies (GIDC, TGIIC), and government portals (MyGov, Digital India, National Portal of India) provide curated distribution into India's business ecosystem.

Operationally, IBP runs with 51–100 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and presents as a founder-led, bootstrapped business. Its explicit focus is on delivering a PAN India authenticated commercial search experience for micro, small, medium, and large enterprises seeking digital identity and verified buyer reach.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Yelp: Yelp is a global online business directory with a verified-listing-plus-advertising model. It is a useful international benchmark for IBP's directory-plus-premium-ads monetization mechanics.
• Alibaba.com: Alibaba.com is the global B2B marketplace where Indian manufacturers increasingly list. It overlaps with IBP's supplier-discovery value proposition at the upper end of the SMB market and represents a long-term aspirational scale benchmark.
• Crunchbase: Crunchbase is a business-information platform operating a company directory and data product. It is analogous to IBP at a different vertical (companies/investors rather than MSME services), illustrating an established data-and-directory business model.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Dun & Bradstreet is a global business data and directory provider with verified company information products. It is analogous to IBP's verified-data value proposition at a higher enterprise tier and serves as a long-term scale comparator.
• Google Business Profile: Google Business Profile is the dominant free local business listing product globally and in India. It is a direct substitute for IBP's paid listings, putting the anchor in competition with a zero-cost incumbent for SMB attention.

Direct peers

• Sulekha: Sulekha is an Indian local-services and business directory platform aggregating verified local businesses and service providers — closely comparable to IBP in terms of MSME and local-discovery focus and audience.
• TradeIndia: TradeIndia is a long-standing Indian B2B directory and marketplace with manufacturer and supplier listings across hundreds of categories — a close functional analog to IBP's directory-and-discovery model.
• IndiaMART InterMESH: IndiaMART is India's largest B2B marketplace connecting manufacturers, suppliers and buyers across sectors. It overlaps directly with IBP's supplier-discovery value proposition and adds transactional lead-generation tools that IBP lacks.
• Yellow Pages India: Yellow Pages India is the traditional Indian business directory brand now operating online. It shares IBP's directory-first model and B2B advertising-inventory structure that monetizes premium placements.
• Justdial: Justdial is India's leading local search engine and business directory, aggregating verified businesses across categories and cities. It is the most direct comparator to IBP, operating an overlapping listing-plus-advertising model across the Indian market.
