NowPurchase is transforming the 140B$ Metal Manufacturing industry. Our goal is to be the preferred procurement partner for over 3k metal manufacturers across the country by 2027. Strong believer that technology could create efficiencies & empower businesses & individuals. Last decade has seen huge amount of innovation on the consumer side with companies like Swiggy, Flipkart, MakeMyTrip & so on. Businesses still do not have the right tools & access which could make them more efficient & successful. My goal is to build an enduring company where people enjoy great amount of autonomy, work life balance & growth.
