Category Standard

Bijnis (formerly ShoeKonnect) is a verified Series B B2B marketplace transforming unorganized manufacturing in India. External search confirms significant scale: ~$10.6M USD (INR 88 Cr) revenue in FY24, ~400+ employees, and backing from top-tier investors like Info Edge and Sequoia. While the project submission itself was of very low quality (containing vague, inaccurate claims like 'audience reach: everyone' and 'most people have used my product'), the actual underlying business demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction. The score reflects the high verifiable value of the project, penalized slightly by the poor quality of the specific submission data.
