Rajesh, Managing Partner at Equanimity, said, “Mayank and Manish bring decades of extensive expertise in supply chain management and possess a profound understanding of the challenges encountered by manufacturers and retailers. The construction materials industry remains highly fragmented, with national players capturing less than 50% of the market, and regional brands having an even more limited presence. We are delighted to collaborate with them as they expand their product portfolio and extend their presence across diverse geographies.”
Nirmaan aims to streamline the construction materials market by using technology to link manufacturers with retailers. Starting with sanitaryware, it has already served over 1,000 retailers within 80 km of Kolkata.
The startup focuses on suburban metros and Tier-II/III towns, addressing major distribution gaps in these areas.
