Indeed. Most of the Hardware, FMCG, Construction materials etc marketplaces are struggling.

What about companies like Ofbusiness and infra.market?

Are they really making actual cash profits? Not book profits. I have my doubts.

Has the B2B marketplace bubble burst?- Grapevine

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Does B2B E-commerce have a future in India? No one has been able to crack the business model yet and many big names have scaled back. 
Does anyone know a profitable company in this segment?

How risky it is to join a startup in this space?

They were backed by Elevation and Accel, had raised ~$7mn
Seems like getting transactions to happen was too tough, despite building a network. Getting money out of Indian SMBs, a consistently tough model.

After closure of B2B vertical of Dealshare, will Udaan/Ninjacart/Elasticrun, etc. also close this vertical?
Anyone from these companies who can share some details as to what's going on?

B2B E-Commerce future

I've had some frustrating experiences at a certain B2B eCommerce subsidiary of a international bank, where the work culture and technology are far from ideal. Expecting 3-4x output from employees with outdated manual processes and technology is a tough ask. The sales team's situation is even worse, having to resort to fake orders due to unrealistic targets and a subpar app. It's disheartening to see top management prioritize PR exercises over addressing these critical issues.

Except a couple of credit on UPI/wealth tech companies, I haven't seen any cool digital B2C companies pop up in recent times.

Are new B2C ideas too risky for investors? What cool early stage consumer products (other than GV) do you use?

Are early stage B2C products dead?

It's 2024. B2B sales buyer behaviour is changing rapidly. Most companies are dropping their SaaS subscriptions left and right. Inboxes of decision makers are cluttered. Industries are becoming saturated with similar undifferentiated software that have unclear value prop.

If you had to grow (or already are growing) your early stage B2B SaaS startup 10x in 2024 to $100K ARR, what would you do?

I keep hearing issues about quality revenue/corporate governance of B2B commerce companies such as Zetwerk, Bizongo, Ofbusiness, ApnaKlub, etc.
Any view?

Product Owner

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I've been the job market for a while and have observed a remarkable shift in the number of opportunities in B2B compared to B2C PM roles. 

Most B2C companies in India like Swiggy, FK etc seem to have matured to the point where there's no further scope of optimising their online conversion/retention - the core KPIs of B2C PMs. On top of that, a lot of these companies are eyeing for IPOs soon which makes hiring and building new stuff even a lesser priority for them. 

Is my observation biased? Or is it actually the case that B2B roles are more in the market
