Certified Problem Solver

Mistry.Store is a verifiable, VC-backed B2B2C marketplace for building materials in India (Gurugram), having raised ~$2M in seed funding from investors like Omidyar Network India. External verification confirms FY25 annual revenue of ~₹17.6 Cr (~$2.1M) and a user base of ~3,500 professionals. While the project demonstrates strong real-world utility and solid financial traction comparable to the calibration baseline, the submission itself was of poor quality—containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals adjusted downward for the niche regional reach and poor submission data.
