These entrepreneurs settled in Gujarat after leaving their high paying jobs in globally reputed multinationals with the vision of creating the largest and most customer oriented retail technology platform to serve more than a billion Indians.

In just three years of operations, Infibeam has seen revenues grow to 100 crore by end of 2011 and expects to continue growing in triple digit percentage. The company continues to attract top talent in building out their world class ecommerce and supply chain platform for consuming India.

Manu Midha, 27, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and IIT Kharagpur, was working for JP Morgan investment banking division in Mumbai. Recently, he quit his high paying banking position and moved to Ahmedabad to join Infibeam.com in planning and development. Manu is not the only one.

Anupam Guha, 25, who topped Delhi University in Computer science and went to pursue graduate studies in engineeringl at Georgia Tech left an opportunity to work with IBM research upon graduating and recently joined Ahmedabad based Infibeam.com.

In the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat summit, Infibeam.com will ink an MoU to setup Vishwagram Bazaar. For the first time, the company plans to open up the e-commerce platform that currently powers large retailers and brands in India for setting up Vishwagram Bazaar; a connected retail platform for fair price shops and village entrepreneurs under their own brand name. This platform will allow access to FMCG as well as products not easily available to rural households at transparent prices. It will also allow local produce to be sold across many retail outlets on the Vishwagram Bazaar and retail channels provided by Infibeam.

The investment of 2,000 Crore will be made over a period of five years in building out the IT infrastructure, logistics, product inventories and support services to cater to more than 20,000 centers for greater inclusivity.

Infibeam.com will be signing the 2,000 Crore MoU with the Gujarat Government here in the capital on 12th January, 2011 during the Vibrant Gujarat summit.

The first of its kind, called Vishwagram Bazaar, this would be one of the largest investment MoUs in the IT enabled sector in the state of Gujarat. The investment would enable each of the 14,000 Vishwagram centers in the state to be able to buy and sell goods, including local produce online.

As part of the MoU, Infibeam will open up its state-of-art, robust e-commerce platform for village entrepreneurs including fair price shops to create online Vishwagram Bazaar stores. This would enable entrepreneurs to buy, sell and access products. Entrepreneurs in villages will be able to showcase local products to a global audience, while they would also have access to the whole universe of products available to urban people including FMCG products as well as retail products like apparel, books, mobile phones and electronics.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Vishal Mehta, Founder Infibeam.com said, "We are extremely excited about this opportunity to power the IT enabled rural retail and marketplace initiative in the state of Gujarat." He added, "Vishwagram Bazaar is a real testimony to the spirit of entrepreneurship in Gujarat and will bring inclusivity by showcasing cottage industry and rural produce to a global audience.
