Aaditya Sharda, Founder, Infra.market

Construction companies traditionally invest less than 1 per cent of revenue in new technologies – lower than every other major industry. And so, the last several decades have seen construction productivity stagnating while costs continue to escalate. But now, the multi-billion-dollar Indian construction industry is indeed ready for a change. Bringing fresh minds and tools to the world of infrastructure and construction, Infra.market is applying technological leverage to bridge the deficiencies among the stakeholders especially during procurement. Led by a team that combines expertise from the technology, design, manufacturing and construction companies, Infra.market is transforming how construction demand can be aggregated for better order fulfilment. Its valuation of $2.5 billion has given it scale.

Notably, Infra.market’s March 2020 revenue stood at Rs 3.5 billion and its March 2021 revenue grew by four times to cross Rs 11 billion, this, despite the COVID pandemic situation. Aaditya Sharda, Founder, Infra.market, shares the strategies that led to this growth, his journey and his plans to build Infra.Market into a one-stop-shop, in conversation with PRATAP PADODE.
