About the founder
SHASHI KUMAR
(Founder of bricbay.com)
Founder of Bricbay
Bricbay was founded by a civil engineering professional who experienced the challenges of buying construction materials firsthand.
During real construction projects, one problem kept repeating every single day — procurement.
Finding material prices meant visiting multiple shops, waiting for quotations, negotiating, arranging delivery, and still not being sure if the price was right. This process consumed valuable time that should have been spent on planning and executing projects.
That frustration became the starting point of Bricbay.
The Idea Behind Bricbay
The idea was simple:
Why is buying cement harder than ordering food online?
In today’s world, almost everything can be ordered instantly — groceries, electronics, taxis — but construction materials still depend heavily on offline communication and manual coordination.
The founder realized that the construction industry needed a digital procurement layer built specifically for local vendors and builders.
Bricbay was created to fill that gap.
The Early Journey
Building Bricbay started from scratch — from learning and developing the website to understanding vendor challenges and customer needs.
It involved:
Visiting local material shops
Understanding how pricing works in real markets
Studying how contractors actually purchase materials
Building the platform step-by-step
Bricbay is the result of consistent learning, late nights, and a strong belief that the construction ecosystem can be made simpler.
The Vision
The long-term vision is to transform how construction materials are bought in India.
The goal is to create a platform where:
Builders can compare prices instantly
Vendors can grow digitally
Procurement becomes transparent and efficient
Bricbay aims to become the default platform for construction material purchasing.
A Message From the Founder
Bricbay is more than a website.
It is an attempt to solve a real problem faced by thousands of builders and contractors every day.
We are just at the beginning of this journey, and we are committed to improving continuously and creating real value for the construction community.
