What GharPedia does

GharPedia is an India-based digital content and directory platform positioned as a 'homepedia' covering the full lifecycle of house-related decisions for Indian homeowners and prospective buyers. The platform publishes expert-authored editorial content (4,075+ blogs across 811 categories spanning architecture, construction materials, Vastu, interior design, repair/maintenance, financial/legal, and landscape), and operates a curated Home Designs Gallery alongside online construction cost calculators.

The core commercial asset is the Nearby Professionals Directory, which lists 10,170+ professionals across 15 categories (architects, contractors, interior designers, material manufacturers, retailers, Vastu consultants, packers & movers, and others) searchable across six Indian cities: Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Mumbai, Vapi, and Pune. Revenue is generated through three streams: paid premium professional listings and enhanced digital visibility (annual subscriptions), advertising and sponsored content partnerships (e.g., Asian Paints survey sponsorship), and material exhibition marketplace features connecting manufacturers with potential buyers. The platform is promoted by Sthapati Designers & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (SDCPL), a 40+ year multidisciplinary engineering consultancy founded in 1979, and shares founders with 1mnt, a CAD-based contractor billing software. GharPedia operates with a product-led and community-led go-to-market motion, leveraging 36+ active bloggers and a guest-author program to drive organic SEO traffic.
