While renovating our flat, we found ourselves calling a different supplier for every material — bricks from one, sand from another, plywood, electrical supplies — each with its own pricing, timelines, and reliability headaches. Then came the delivery shock: sky-high costs, and if you live in a flat, you'd need to arrange labour separately just to carry things up. Prices varied wildly and the risk of being overcharged was everywhere.

My family has been in the construction materials supply business for over 20 years, so we knew what a fair, transparent experience should look like. EasyCement is our answer — a trusted, app-based platform where anyone building or renovating can source quality materials without the confusion. We've started from our hometown in Kolkata, and hope to bring this experience pan-India soon.
