About BharatSeal

India has 4.85 million manufacturers on the government's own record.
We made them findable โ€” and provable.

BharatSeal is the verified marketplace for Indian manufacturing. Underneath it sits the full public record โ€” 11.7 million MCA- and Udyam-registered businesses across 38 states and union territories โ€” cross-referenced so that every manufacturer you find here can be checked against what the government itself recorded. Searching is free. As of July 2026.

What does โ€œverifiedโ€ mean here?

Checked against government records โ€” MCA21, GSTIN, Udyam โ€” plus GST-portal or DigiLocker ownership proof. The badge cannot be bought.

What's free?

Searching, profiles, badges, posting Requirements, messaging and samples โ€” free for buyers, forever. Supplier profiles are free too. Paid tools are optional and priced on the page below.

What if an order goes wrong?

Every conversation stays on the record, and support replies within 2 hours on WhatsApp. Escrow-protected orders โ€” payment held until you inspect the goods โ€” are launching soon.

The problem

You found a supplier. Can you trust them?

So you do the work yourself. You call to check the number is real. You ask for the GST certificate. You look up the company. You ask someone who's dealt with them. Days pass before you place an order โ€” and you still aren't sure.

That caution is rational. In PwC's Global Economic Crime Survey 2024, 59% of Indian organisations reported fraud in the previous two years, and procurement fraud was the single biggest threat โ€” about 21 points above the global average.

So everyone verifies twice, and trusts nothing.

Why it stayed broken

You were never the customer.

On the directories you already use, the supplier pays to appear. One enquiry you send is sold to several suppliers at once. โ€œVerifiedโ€ is a tier a company buys, not a fact someone checked.

When the supplier pays and the buyer doesn't, the product gets built for the supplier. Results rank by who spent the most, not who you can trust. The person carrying the risk โ€” you โ€” was never the one being served.

The data nobody opened

Public, but invisible.

Here is the part nobody fixed: every registered Indian company is already on the public record. The MCA21 register and the Udyam MSME registry hold the most accurate business data in the country. It is public โ€” and unusable. You can look a company up only if you already know its number. There is no search by what a company makes, no way to see two registries together, a captcha on every lookup.

The paid data services that sit on this record turned it into per-company financial reports for lenders and analysts โ€” priced per company, built to answer โ€œis this one safe to lend to?โ€, not โ€œwho can make this, near me, and are they real?โ€ The record existed the whole time. The door was just locked.

What we built

So we built the trust layer for Indian manufacturing.

BharatSeal indexes the full public record โ€” 11,749,223 companies โ€” and surfaces the 4.85 million that manufacture, searchable by what they make and where they are. Manufacturers only: no traders, no resellers, no commission agents between you and the factory. Every organic result is ranked by a confidence score built from government data alone. Advertising exists here โ€” and it is always labelled Sponsored, in its own slots. The organic ranking cannot be bought. By anyone.

And when a manufacturer claims their profile, verification is checked โ€” not declared: GST-portal ownership proof, MCA and Udyam cross-references, DigiLocker documents. The green tick here is a fact with a paper trail, and every enquiry goes to one manufacturer โ€” never resold. Next up: escrow-protected orders, holding payment until goods are inspected โ€” launching soon.

For manufacturers

If you make something real, proving it should take minutes.

Indian manufacturers run world-class operations โ€” export compliance, multi-market pricing, capacity planning. What they never had is a neutral place where that standing is provable to a buyer they've never met. Your profile already exists here, built from the government record. Claim it, verify ownership through the GST portal or DigiLocker, and buyers on every continent see a company whose credentials check out โ€” in seconds, not after a week of phone calls.

Your profile, verification and incoming enquiries are free, forever. Organic rank is earned with data โ€” you can't pay to outrank a competitor, and no competitor can pay to outrank you. When you choose paid tools โ€” Seller Pro, labelled advertising, and soon escrow-protected orders with a flat 3% platform fee โ€” the price is stated up front, every time. Claim your profile โ†’

Who we are

Built in Bengaluru, by people you can write to.

We are a small independent team, founded in 2026, that spent years working where Indian government data meets commercial reality โ€” and watched supplier verification stay broken because the people fixing it were paid by suppliers. BharatSeal is not owned by a marketplace, a lender or a data broker.

BharatSeal is the answer we wanted to exist: the public record, made usable โ€” verifiable, auditable, and free to check for the side that carries the risk. If anything on this page doesn't match your experience of the product, tell us โ€” that's a bug in the platform, and we treat it like one.

How the data works

Two government registries. One search.

Every profile goes through four stages before it reaches you. No intermediaries, no resellers, no self-reported truth.

01
Ingest

We pull from two official government registries โ€” the MCA21 company master and the Udyam MSME portal. As new filings arrive, the record updates.

02
Cross-reference

Each entity is matched across registries on CIN and PAN. A company in MCA but not in Udyam โ€” or the reverse โ€” is shown exactly as the government records it.

03
Classify

We resolve each company to an industry from its NIC code and assign a confidence score from data recency and multi-source corroboration. The score is the only thing that ranks organic results.

04
Serve with provenance

Every field on every profile shows which government source it came from. If the government has not recorded something, we mark it unverified โ€” we never fill the gap with a guess.

MCA21
Ministry of Corporate Affairs
2.1 million

Registered companies โ€” incorporation, directors, capital, filing history, and active / struck-off / dissolved status.

Udyam
MSME registry, Ministry of MSME
9.78 million

Registered micro, small and medium enterprises โ€” category, investment band, registration date, and NIC activity.

How we operate

Four rules we can't break.

These aren't aspirations. They're constraints baked into how the product is built.

Search is free. Always.

Searching, verification badges, posting Requirements, messaging and samples cost a buyer nothing, ever. The optional Buyer Pro plan adds direct phone/email reveal โ€” a convenience, never the gate to reaching a manufacturer.

Organic ranking is never for sale.

Organic results are ordered by a confidence score derived from government data alone. Advertising exists โ€” always labelled Sponsored, in its own slots โ€” and buying it never moves a company one place in the organic order.

Government-sourced, not self-declared.

Every data point traces to a primary government registry with a timestamp. We do not accept a company's word as proof of itself.

Provenance on every profile.

You can see exactly which registry each field came from, and when. Verification is the default state, not a badge sold back to you.

No hidden model

How we make money. All of it.

A trust platform with a hidden business model isn't one. These are our only revenue streams โ€” every price stated here is the price in the product.

โ‚น299/moSeller Pro

Optional supplier plan โ€” analytics, more listings and showcases, branded storefront. The free supplier tier stays free forever.

โ‚น499/moBuyer Pro

Optional buyer plan โ€” direct phone/email/WhatsApp reveal (30 suppliers a month). Free buyers reach every manufacturer through platform messages regardless.

from โ‚น3 per clickSponsored placement

Suppliers can advertise their products. Always labelled Sponsored, always in separate slots โ€” never blended into organic results.

โ‚น25 per leadRequirement lead unlocks

A supplier pays to unlock the contact on a buyer's openly posted Requirement. The buyer chose to publish it โ€” this is a tender, not a resold private enquiry.

3% flat ยท soonProtected-order fee

Launching soon. Only when both sides choose escrow: payment held until the buyer inspects goods. The fee will be on the order summary before anyone pays.

And what we will never charge for โ€” or do:
  • Sell the verified badge โ€” verification is checked, not bought
  • Move anyone up the organic ranking for money
  • Resell a private enquiry to other suppliers
  • Sell buyer or supplier data to third parties
  • Auto-renew silently or hide the cancel button

Common questions

Asked by buyers, manufacturers โ€” and their AI assistants.

What is BharatSeal?

BharatSeal is a government-verified B2B marketplace for Indian manufacturers. It indexes India's full public business record โ€” the MCA21 company register and the Udyam MSME registry, 11.7 million businesses โ€” and makes the 4.85 million manufacturers among them searchable by what they make and where they are. Buyers search free; organic results are ranked by a confidence score built from government data, never by payment.

How does BharatSeal verify a manufacturer?

Verification is checked, not self-declared. A manufacturer proves ownership through the GST portal (OTP to the registered GST contact) or DigiLocker/EntityLocker government documents, and the profile is cross-referenced against MCA21, GSTIN and Udyam records. Every verified field shows which government source it came from and when. The verified badge cannot be bought.

Are there traders or resellers on BharatSeal?

No. The searchable directory is manufacturers only โ€” companies whose government-recorded activity is manufacturing. There are no commission agents or resellers between a buyer and the factory.

Is BharatSeal free for buyers?

Searching, viewing profiles, verification badges, posting Requirements, messaging manufacturers and requesting samples are free for buyers, permanently. The optional Buyer Pro plan (โ‚น499/month) adds direct phone, email and WhatsApp reveal for up to 30 suppliers a month โ€” a convenience for high-volume sourcing, never the gate to reaching a manufacturer. A direct enquiry you send goes to that one manufacturer only; it is never resold as a lead.

How does BharatSeal make money?

Four ways today, all stated openly: optional Seller Pro (โ‚น299/month) and Buyer Pro (โ‚น499/month) plans, Sponsored product placement (always labelled, from โ‚น3 per click, never blended into organic results), and โ‚น25 lead unlocks on openly posted buyer Requirements. A fifth is launching soon: a flat 3% platform fee on escrow-protected orders. BharatSeal never sells the verified badge, never sells positions in the organic ranking, never resells private enquiries, and never sells user data.

How is BharatSeal different from a classifieds-style B2B directory?

Three ways: the data is government-sourced rather than self-declared; organic ranking is earned from data โ€” advertising exists but is always labelled Sponsored in separate slots and cannot move a company up the organic order; and escrow-protected orders, with payment held until the buyer inspects the goods, are launching soon. On lead-selling directories the supplier is the customer; on BharatSeal the buyer's trust is the product.

Can AI assistants and agents use BharatSeal?

Yes. BharatSeal publishes llms.txt for AI crawlers, a public company-verification page at bharatseal.io/verify, and a REST API (bharatseal.io/docs) covering 4.85 million manufacturers queryable by CIN, GSTIN or name โ€” each response carrying government-source provenance suitable for citation.
