What do you mean by b2b? If you mean money from builders and brokers (listings) then you can check out info edge’s annual report, roughly 35% is from builders, 55% from brokers.  
  
 Pricing power is the major issue, builders spend offline, google, facebook and portals as well, and there is no clear winner who can command a premium price.

How is 99acres or Magicbrick B2B business side performing?

How is 99acres or Magicbrick B2B business side performing?- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Housing.com (REA India) ranked 3rd in the GPTW survey this year. They provide several awesome perks like, laying off without any notice, fucking their reviews just so that they could justify the lay offs, and threatening actions if anything came out on social media. 

10-15% of the whole tech team was laid off (mostly freshers) apparently on the basis of low performance.  It was all carried out by the higher management, not even the managers had any clue about the lay off happening. 

The performance rating was rigged by the higher management who had no interaction with the tech people. They had this awesome idea of getting reviewed by people who we had never interacted with. Managers were merely bystanders who had no say in the performance review whatsoever. 


PS: A note for the management -->
Housing.com would be an employee friendly company only if you guys would give two fucks about employees, instead of Caring so much about the GPTW ranking like conducting hands on sessions and literally forcing people to put in good rating.

The rigged performance rating and the secrecy is so true. I got to know about my colleague getting fired when I opened his slack which was deactivated. Upon calling, he said it was all done in 5 mins, Forceful resignation, No Severance and was asked to post nothing on social media.  
  
 From my team alone 2 people have been laid off both freshers.

Has the B2B marketplace bubble burst?

Program Manager

Hello, anybody working in PropTech in India or Abroad?

Product Manager

Hi all, are there companies who store new real state projects data and expose it via APIs? Companies like Zillow do it in the USA but I don’t see 99 acres or magic bricks with such offerings.

If it’s not present and somebody has to start a new venture in the real estate space, do they have to build to entirely by themselves?

VC here. Doing this for fun.
Don't take all views seriously.

Comment a startup's name, I'll share if it's promising or whatever I know

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

Finance Consultant

How is the company and culture? Looking at the future of manufacturing in India, I see there is good scope but their product still looks very old school, is it because of the team or is it just the way that industry works?

Anyone from Indiamart?

Would like to build something which will be one stop shop for the real estate agents/real estate marketing agencies.
The idea is to let them focus on what they do best (sales) and handle everything else for them, charge commission for the service.
What do you think does this has market will the agents use the service (I believe they are already using different services but all of them are disconnected)
Happy to discuss it further in comment section

SaaS to real estate agents

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

B2B Commerce Issues

Investor

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

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?

Future of B2B E-commerce

What are the best ways to underwrite and acquire micro and small businesses today on digital platform?

Seeing and hearing a lot of: 
"oh MSMEs are not digital in India", 
"Need a big field sales team", and 
"Have to go and physically collect documents to make it work" ideas

Any best practices that you have seen work apart from the orthodox?

Last 3 years of startups have been all about SaaS. I just don't get it. So far, it was about solving real problems at scale.
First with consumer websites (google etc), then software, then shopping & delivery (amazon swiggy zomato fk etc etc) 

And now, it's all SaaS:
- Imma build a startup to help white businessmen in America do better billing 
- Imma build a 360 degree feedback tool specifically for Norwegian miners 
- Imma build a SaaS software to help HR people note down who isn't dressed properly
- Imma build a software to help hillbillies in the US better manage their trucking company

Like how are smart people in India taking up entrepreneurship to build these ideas that are dull and feel like the end of life? How does anybody become excited by this? 

is it just money? what am I missing?

SaaS: Why are people so attracted to it? (mini rant)

"BYJU’S grew considerably since our first investment in 2018, but, over time, its reporting and governance structures did not evolve sufficiently for a company of that scale. Despite repeated efforts from our Director, executive leadership at BYJU’S regularly disregarded advice and recommendations relating to strategic, operational, legal, and corporate governance matters. The decision for our Director to step down from the BYJU’S Board was taken after it became clear that he was unable to fulfil his fiduciary duty to serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders."

https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/24/prosus-questions-byjus-governance-says-indian-edtech-regularly-disregarded-advice/?tpcc=tcplustwitter

This is major - Prosus just publically said that BYJU's had improper governance and failed to improve despite their recommendations

Largest shareholder saying this publicly, I wonder if there is any way of recovering from this point
