Finding real private suppliers in India who actually do single-piece whitelabel shipping is a hassle. Telegram is full of scammers. IndiaMART is mainly for bulk, hence it's a pain to find a dropship-friendly supplier. Middlemen like Roposo Clout are dead, and the remaining ones have massive markups and shady reputations anyway.

I want to build a community-sourced directory to fix this.

You can browse available products and their prices for free. However, to get supplier contact information, you pay a one-time micro-fee per product. Like I said, this is a community-sourced directory, so anyone can list a supplier on the platform, and a part of the revenue generated will be shared with the lister as an incentive to list supplier info.

Prevention from potential scams:

1. All submitted suppliers will be manually verified by me or my team before the listing goes public.
2. The lister's share is escrowed for a month. During this time, the buyer can report a dead lead (supplier not responding / not shipping / demanding MOQ). The buyer gets refunded, and the lister gets nothing. Two or more dead lead reports will pull the listing for re-verification.

You are paying for the convenience to get verified dropship-friendly private suppliers at their original per-product rate, not an inflated rate.

Questions:

1. Would you pay for this service?
2. Are you incentivized enough to list private suppliers you know on this platform?
3. Why has this not been done before? Am I missing something visible in plain sight?

My dad (a landlord) recently had to eat the cost of property damage because of deposit dispute. He didn't want to argue further, so he let it go.

I keep hearing either of two situations. One- landlords unnecessarily deduct deposit amount from helpless tenants. Two- tenants falsely accuse landlords of wrongful deduction even if its right.

I was thinking, what if landlords take timestamped photos before handover, and tenants sign off digitally via a browser link (OTP), which locks as a certified PDF that stands valid in court? Is this a feasible solution?

Quick questions for this sub:

1. Landlords: Would you actually take 10 mins to do this before a tenant moves in?
2. Tenants: Would having a "locked" baseline report make you feel safer? Would you pay a tiny, one-time fee to have this certified proof and protect your deposit?
