The Market
Our primary market is India, where the footwear industry is poised to reach an 80 billion USD market size by 2025, supported by 1.5 lakh vendors and over 10,000 brands. According to research, the supply chain is operated by 1 lakh retail vendors, 10,000 fashion showrooms, 5,000 brand stores, 2,000 drop-shippers, 10,000 digital vendors, 20,000 traders, 5,000 wholesalers, 1,000 distributors, and 1 buying house – us. Despite this vast network, there is currently no single platform offering A to Z services that can seamlessly connect and integrate this entire ecosystem. We aim to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for the footwear industry, ensuring smooth connections across the supply chain and elevating brands.
Progress/Proof
We began in 2017 by offering Google Listing services to small businesses, helping them gain digital visibility. Despite early challenges and skepticism, our persistence paid off, and by 2019, we gained traction with a growing client base. In the same year, we won a gold medal at the AKTU Business Fest, proving our entrepreneurial spirit. In May, 2023, we launched India’s 1st 100% digitalized footwear buying house, “Indepto INDIA,” with a focus on Agra, the hub of domestic footwear. By June 2023, we secured our first large order from a well known brand of premium segment feetsutra and later fulfilled a 1,50,000 pairs order for the Telangana government. Today, we’re a leading footwear buying house with a dedicated team of 35 professionals.
Objectives/Future
Our mission is to redefine the footwear sourcing industry by addressing challenges faced by small businesses, promoting fair practices, and ensuring transparency. We aim to become the global leader in digitized buying houses, driving innovation and setting new standards. Our focus is on building long-term, client-centric relationships by delivering high-quality, timely solutions while prioritizing sustainability through eco-friendly practices. We are committed to fostering growth, knowledge, and empowerment for our clients and partners. By upholding ethical business practices and ensuring fair wages, we strive to shape a sustainable, transparent future for the industry. We want to create an ecosystem where Bharat drives India to Growth.
