  • Empowering them with design to digitization to global wholesale discovery.

This MSME-focused wholesale platform, Lal10 has a target to reach a $100 million run rate in a year by focusing on the home textile category.

Lal10 was founded by Maneet Gohil, Sanchit Govil, and Albin Jose in the year 2017. This Noida-based platform is an online platform for grassroots MSMEs in India. The company is creating a maker’s revolution by digitizing the rural manufacturers of small and medium scale to take their sustainable products to global markets.

As per the wordings of the founder of the company, India has a production appetite of over $160 billion with Tier III and Tier IV production hubs in the places like Bhagalpur, Pochampally, Maheshwar, and Amroha, which are yet to come on the global map.

EXECUTIVE OPINION:

Maneet Gohil the CEO & Co-founder of Lal10, has mentioned that “Lal10 is building technologies for the next craft revolution.

"We are making Bhagalpur the next Panipat by enabling contemporary designs, technology innovations for a transparent supply chain, and digitizing inventories of sustainable products for discovery to global buyers wholesale.
