Is the hunt for your old modelled refrigerator's spare part, giving you sleepless nights? Have you contacted multiple spare part dealers but don't know whom to trust?

The spare part market in the country is currently very fragmented and not so pro-technology. This makes it a difficult task to tie up with suppliers and connect with them. For example, on the breakdown of a machine, the owner typically has to contact multiple suppliers for quotes and the process of getting quotes in itself takes a long time. One might not even be able to reach the proper supplier as there are too many man in the middle and connecting with the right supplier becomes a big and daunting task. This is where Spareguru comes in and solves all these problems. By providing instant online quotes and tieing-up with multiple suppliers and best manufacturers in the country, the innovative startup helps the customer reach directly to the source directly and in a much efficient way.
