India has 2.87 crore registered businesses.
Almost none of them are findable.
IndiaMart charges manufacturers ₹40,000–₹1.5L per year to appear in search results. JustDial sells your phone number to every vendor in the category. Trade directories are full of inactive companies and five-year-old phone numbers.
Meanwhile, the most accurate business database in India — the government's own registries — sits publicly accessible but not searchable. BharatSeal indexes it, scores it, and makes it free to search.
From a frustration to a product
Every time a D2C founder, NBFC, or logistics company needed to verify a supplier, they'd call IndiaMart or a CA friend. Government data existed — 2.87 crore MCA registrations, 1.4 crore GSTINs, 3 crore UDYAM records — all public. None of it searchable.
We built a pipeline to ingest, normalise, and cross-reference the three government registries. 28.7 lakh entities indexed. Confidence scoring formula designed from scratch — weighted by data recency, filing compliance, and multi-source corroboration.
Natural language queries like 'HDPE bottle manufacturer Ahmedabad' now resolve to the correct NIC codes, geographic filters, and entity-type classifiers — without the user knowing any of that exists. The intelligence is invisible.
BharatSeal.io goes live. Free to search, free to claim. Enterprise REST API for NBFCs, logistics, and marketplaces who need GSTIN verification at scale.
The intelligence pipeline
Every company profile on BharatSeal goes through five stages before it reaches you.
We pull from three primary sources — MCA21 company master, GSTIN registry, and UDYAM MSME portal. All official government data, updated as new filings arrive.
Each entity gets matched across registries using CIN, PAN, and GSTIN as join keys. A company registered in MCA but absent from GSTIN gets flagged accordingly.
The confidence score (0–100) is calculated per entity. MCA active (+30), GST active (+20), filed within 6 months (+15), IEC holder (+10), UDYAM registered (+10). Formula is public.
AI classifiers run manufacturer vs trader detection using IEC + NIC + UDYAM signals. Product tags are inferred. Geographic coordinates are derived from pincode lookup tables.
Meilisearch powers sub-100ms search across 28.7L entities. Every query result includes data provenance — you see exactly which government source each field came from.
Three registries. One search.
All data is sourced directly from Indian government registries. No intermediaries, no resellers.
Company registrations, directors, authorised capital, paid-up capital, filing history, and active/struck-off/dissolved status.
GST registration status, business type, primary NIC codes, filing history (monthly/quarterly), and return compliance score.
MSME category (micro/small/medium), investment in plant & machinery, annual turnover band, and NIC activity classification.
Four non-negotiable rules
These aren't aspirations. They're hard constraints baked into the product architecture.
Every result is ranked by confidence score derived purely from data quality — filing recency, GST compliance, UDYAM status. No business can pay to appear higher.
We don't accept self-reported data as ground truth. Every data point traces to a primary government source with a timestamp. If government hasn't recorded it, we mark it unverified.
Contact information is only shown for businesses that have actively claimed and verified their profile. No one is opted into a contact database without explicitly choosing to be there.
Listing on BharatSeal is automatic for any registered Indian business. We monetise depth, export, and API — never visibility itself.
Built in India,
for Indian business
We are a small, focused team that has spent years working at the intersection of Indian government data and commercial intelligence. We have seen first-hand how broken supplier verification is for NBFCs, logistics companies, and sourcing teams.
BharatSeal is our answer. Not a directory. Not a marketplace. A data intelligence layer — verifiable, auditable, and priced for actual use.
