"Arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached"

Keeping things organized can help cut down the cost significantly, whatever is the event. In India, where weddings are large events, organizing things efficiently can bring a huge breath of relief to families who are constantly concerned about the wedding budget.

Recognizing this common notion, Manish Mishra stepped forward to create an online platform that works as an online aggregator of wedding service providers and making it easier for customers to find the right service provider as per their budget. The platform is built keeping the diversity of culture in India, and how weddings of different regions have different requirements.

A few years down the line, Manish wants to see his online venture as one stop platform in India for all sorts of wedding arrangements and services.

Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.

We are a standardized wedding service provider aggregator. We have wedding experts for all budgets. Ranging from a simple DJ to Jaimala theme to decors to catering, Poori Shaadi offers a complete wedding service solution. We have also introduced many new avenues in wedding catering service. (Our website is currently under construction).

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

The unorganized wedding service sector and the problems where budget becomes an issue for most middle class families made me come up with the Poori Shaadi concept. Wedding is like a festival in every family in India and people spend around 30% of their entire life’s income in weddings. I thought of providing them with best quality vendors and also with best rates so that the big barrier between the right vendor and right customer is balanced with Poori Shaadi. We want to reach in every family of India and give them an organized wedding on their own budget.
