What this platform is for
It is a connector. It helps farmers and sellers, the logistics that move goods, resellers and skilled workers find each other and reach end customers. That is all it sets out to do.
It does not sell anything itself, it is not a party to any deal, and it does not vouch for anyone. The people who meet here deal with each other directly. The platform is open source, free to use, funded by donations, takes no commission and handles no payments.

Who it helps
Farmers and sellers
Traditional and agro vendors, and rental or homestay owners, list their items with prices and minimum order quantities, manage their shop, see incoming bookings and their own sales records, and can set up referral codes. Sellers publish in the areas an administrator has opened for service.
Buyers
End customers browse and search without creating an account. They book with a name and a phone number, see the minimum order before ordering, and can look a booking up later with its code and their phone number. Every arrangement, payment and delivery is between the buyer and the seller.
Resellers
Resellers use the same guest checkout to order in bulk, and their bookings are marked as reseller orders so the seller knows they are supplying someone who will sell on. The terms are theirs to agree.
Logistics — collectors and drivers
Collectors pick up from sellers; delivery drivers take the goods on. Drivers declare a base of one district plus up to five localities, set themselves online or offline, and see only the jobs that match where they work. Anyone can also request a one-off errand.
Skilled workers
Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, mechanics and other trades list the work they provide and appear in a public directory that buyers can search by trade. What they charge and agree is between them and the customer.
Verification volunteers
Volunteers visit a site, record what they found with photos, and file a report. They keep the visit fee as their allowance and gain first-hand experience. Once an administrator approves the report, the listing shows that a visit took place and who made it.
What you can do here
Browse and search
A catalog of traditional products, agro produce and rentals, with filters for area and price. A dedicated PG, rentals and homestays section, and public directories for skilled workers and for transport and errands.
Book without an account
Guests book directly from a listing. Minimum order quantities are checked automatically, and the seller contacts the buyer on the phone number given.
Request transport and errands
Vendors can request a pickup or delivery for a booking; anyone can post an errand. Drivers run from their declared localities and see matching jobs.
An on-site visit on record
A listing can carry the outcome of a volunteer's visit: what they saw, with photos, and who made the visit. It is one person's observation on one day — useful context to weigh up, not a guarantee from us.
Referrals and affiliate marketing
Vendors and drivers create shareable codes and set the commission they are willing to pay. When an order completes through a code, the owner reviews it and approves the commission themselves — then settles it directly with the marketer.
Sales records
Vendors see completed-order totals by month, quarter and year, and can download a PDF report for their own bookkeeping.
Support the platform
Donations are collected through a UPI ID and QR code set by an administrator. The platform never stores payment details.
Stories
The blog introduces new businesses and farms, and links straight to the ones it features.
What we do not do
We do not vouch for anyone
The platform does not approve who may trade, does not guarantee anyone's goods or conduct, and does not stand behind a deal. Use your own judgement; we only help you find each other.
We are not a party to any deal
Every sale, booking, delivery, job and payment is directly between the people involved. The platform takes no responsibility for whether it goes well.
No commission
The platform takes no cut from any sale, booking or delivery — from anyone, including the platform's own referral codes.
No transactions on the platform
Money settles directly between the people involved, offline. The platform only records fulfilment status and keeps no payment credentials.
No forced accounts
Buyers never register. Only sellers, logistics, skilled workers and volunteers do, and their personal data is encrypted and can be exported or deleted on request.
No location tracking
There are no map integrations, no live GPS and no ETAs. Logistics is coordinated by the localities a driver has declared they work in.

This project was built with the help of the OpenCode coding agent and language models including GPT, GLM and DeepSeek.
It is a disclosure, not a claim of correctness. AI-assisted code still has to pass the same tests, review and checks as anything else, and mistakes are possible. If you spot one, report it on the repository.
