🛍️ Vemgram: Building in Public

I am building Vemgram and sharing the entire journey here – progress, decisions, half-baked ideas, and everything in between.

Vemgram is an online platform to connect retailers with manufacturers in India. Think IndiaMART, but with better UX.

Website: vemgram.com

🧱 Build Log

Updates won't be daily as I'm not working on this full-time.

🔸 December 24, 2025

  • Thinking of using the domain vemgram.com that I have from earlier, and have also got the .in that I'll probably redirect to the .com
  • Finalized Laravel as the framework after researching multiple options (but don't ask me why)

🔸 December 22, 2025

  • Created a detailed written plan for the app in a Google Docs
  • Discussed this with Amit, Bikash, Rohit, and a few other people as well
  • Researched different tech stack options, as I don't want to use Next.js for this (my other Next.js projects have become very complicated in the past)

📦 Parking Lot

Ideas and suggestions I'm considering for the some day.

Physical mail verification: Send physical mails to manufacturer addresses for profile verification, similar to how Google AdSense does it in India.

Role switching (community idea): Buyers can post requirements on the app, and verified sellers send quotations — like government tender work.
