Business & Startups Directory

Improved engagement with prospective clients and customers: Being listed in our startup and business directory may increase buyers of your products or services. We can achieve this easily through word-of-mouth marketing and references among our profiles. This is also our primary objective of starting the directory.

Loyalty: Though we don’t espouse any membership or loyalty programmes, listing your business or startup in our community’s directory would help enhance the relationship between a business/startup and the community, and what better way to achieve the same than with our directory?

Improved visibility on search engines: Though, as a policy, we don’t guarantee listings on SERP (Search Engine Results Page), listing your profile in our business and startup directory can result in enhanced exposure with Google, Bing, and various other search engines. Because we enjoy high rankings on the SERPs for most of our primary targeted keywords, we believe your business is more likely to appear higher while conducting a search on any search engine, thereby attracting more organic traffic to your website through the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) process.

Enhanced online visibility and brand recognition: Establishing a robust online presence can elevate your visibility and strengthen your reputation among prospective clients. Additionally, being listed in our online startup and business directory will further boost your brand’s recognition and credibility.

Low-cost digital marketing: Unlike many other forms of marketing (like pay-per-click advertisements on Google or Facebook), our startup and business directory listing is highly cost-effective.

Funding:  By listing your profile in our directory, you get access to private startup and business investors, including Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists (VCs), government grants, CSR funds, and funding prospects from startup organizations such as StartupTN, EDII, MSME, StartupTN, Startup India, DIC, DSTE, and loan opportunities offered by public and private banks and financial institutions across India.

Leadership: Any founder looking to lead any BTS chapter should first get his/her business or startup listed in our directory.

Support: Team and community BTS are ready to help startups and businesses in whatever way possible. If there is something we couldn’t do, we will be more than happy to refer your requirement to the right resource (read as resourceful) person or team. So, go ahead and ask anything with respect to your business requirement. Let’s talk.

Step 1: Submit your details: List your business or startup details using the fields in the order as mentioned below (*denotes mandatory):

# Name of the Company*:
# Company Description (in < 200 characters)*:
# Year of Start*:
# Name of the Founder(s)/Co-Founders(s) (<4 individuals)*:
# Location(s) & Primary Address*:
# Website or App*:
# Call/WhatsApp*:
# Email*:
# Company Registration No. (Udyam Registration Number (URN)/GSTIN):
# Office Location – Google Map URL*:
Step 2: Mail your details: Copy/Paste the above-mentioned fields, fill in the relevant details, and mail the same to bythestartups@gmail.com.
Step 2A: Make Payment: Remit your annual subscription charges of INR 1000 for our directory services to the payment account details provided here (scroll the page below).
Step 3: Update steps 2 and 2A to us through WhatsApp without fail. Failing to do so will mark your submission ‘under review or pending’.
Step 4: Your startup or business profile directory will first be reviewed and verified by our team and submitted within 24 hours and updated to you via WhatsApp no. and email.
Changes: We allow only three profile data changes per year and request careful consideration of changes made to the profile to maintain its authenticity and accuracy simultaneously.

Rule 1: BTS does not solicit the authenticity of any of the companies listed in the directory, posted by any individual, and it’s purely the opinion of the listed company, though we perform a high level of due diligence while verifying every profile listing for authenticity and accuracy.

Rule 2: We hold no responsibility for payment/delivery failures or delays, though they can be arbitrated amicably by team BTS for the benefit of both parties, if required.

Rule 3: Any business referral lead will be first passed on to the listed profile, and then to the Participants (basic members) of the community. No referral should be made to individuals who are not even Participants of the BTS community. Please don’t violate this point.

Rule 4: We expect all listed startups and companies to demonstrate a high standard of honesty and diligence in all transactions and business referrals. Any business or startup found to be violating this cardinal rule will be delisted from the directory with immediate effect, with a warning note.

Rule 5: Startups and businesses are expected to deliver the quality of services at the prices quoted by them before the start of a transaction, living up to the ethical standards as business professionals.

Rule 6: Business referrals should be shared with the utmost care, verifying identities, doing a thorough background check, ensuring willingness, and properly executing the referral process.

Rule 7: “Praise in public, criticize in private” encourages a decent and effective approach to managing relationships within the community.
