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

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.
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. โVerifiedโ 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.
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 โis this one safe to lend to?โ, not โwho can make this, near me, and are they real?โ The record existed the whole time. The door was just locked.
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.
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
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.
Two government registries. One search.
Every profile goes through four stages before it reaches you. No intermediaries, no resellers, no self-reported truth.
We pull from two official government registries โ the MCA21 company master and the Udyam MSME portal. As new filings arrive, the record updates.
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.
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.
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.
Registered companies โ incorporation, directors, capital, filing history, and active / struck-off / dissolved status.
Registered micro, small and medium enterprises โ category, investment band, registration date, and NIC activity.
Four rules we can't break.
These aren't aspirations. They're constraints baked into how the product is built.
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 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.
Every data point traces to a primary government registry with a timestamp. We do not accept a company's word as proof of itself.
You can see exactly which registry each field came from, and when. Verification is the default state, not a badge sold back to you.
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.
Optional supplier plan โ analytics, more listings and showcases, branded storefront. The free supplier tier stays free forever.
Optional buyer plan โ direct phone/email/WhatsApp reveal (30 suppliers a month). Free buyers reach every manufacturer through platform messages regardless.
Suppliers can advertise their products. Always labelled Sponsored, always in separate slots โ never blended into organic results.
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.
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.
- 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
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 (โน499/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 (โน299/month) and Buyer Pro (โน499/month) plans, Sponsored product placement (always labelled, from โน3 per click, never blended into organic results), and โน25 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.
