The Opportunity
As the Indian Army scales GeM procurement (evidenced by the first capital contract milestone), hundreds of MSMEs and defence suppliers will need to achieve GeM certification, maintain Buy (Indian) compliance documentation, and prepare audit-ready procurement records. These vendors lack internal expertise to navigate GeM's procedural requirements, quality benchmarks, and Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) alignment—causing rejection cycles and lost contracts.
Market Size₹180-220 Cr addressable market — based on projected 400-500 new defence vendors entering GeM in next 18 months × ₹40-50 lakh per vendor in compliance/audit serv
Why NowGST registration (Service, 18%), Professional Services license (if required by state), ISO 9001 certification (optional but improves credibility with defence vendors), no Defence Ministry license required (advisory service, not manufacturing).
