The Opportunity
Small shopkeepers, local service providers, and classified advertisers lack convenient access to newspaper classified sections. They either visit offices themselves (time-consuming) or don't advertise at all because the process is opaque and tedious. Newspapers still generate revenue from classifieds but have no field agents reaching micro-merchants in residential/commercial clusters.
Market SizeβΉ800 Cr β India's newspaper classified advertising market, with βΉ150-200 Cr addressable from tier-2/3 cities where digital adoption lags and print classifieds remain primary for local services (repairs, rentals, matrimony, jobs).
Why NowMinimal: GST registration as service provider (6% applicable), basic sales record-keeping.
