Inspiration
In the present era of the industrial revolution, our goal is to create a competitive platform that engages both booming startups and established businesses. Taking inspiration from "Shark Tank," where unique products are pitched to a panel of global businesses, we envisioned bringing this concept to an online platform to attract a higher number of investors and investment seekers. This vision gave birth to "Indusaid," a platform designed to discover and book Industry 4.0 solutions for startups, while also providing investors with ample opportunities to explore and invest. We believe that by doing so, we can foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in the business landscape.
What it does
Our website caters to two types of users: those who need solutions for the problems they face in their specific industry, and well-established businesses that can gain profits by providing solutions to these startups. When startup users visit our website, they are directed to a dashboard where they can find solutions for the mentioned problems and book consultancy services or tie-ups with other companies. We have a predefined dataset of problems to help young startups identify and solve their issues, even those they may not be aware of. If they can't find a suitable solution, they can contact us for more assistance.
We act as a middleware connection for both booming startups and established businesses, providing opportunities for startups and offering affiliate marketing options for established companies. Our platform creates more variety and options for buyers, rather than being dominated by a single player. Whether you are looking for investment or seeking to invest, you are at the right spot."
How we built it
We use HTML, CSS, JS for frontend of the website by help of a template design that we created and mongodb is used as the database to store the user credentials with the help of backend framework express.js and node js.
Challenges we ran into
As a team of young developers, we face the following challenges while building the "Indusaid" platform:
