Rules

BharatBuilds is a public leaderboard for Indian products, D2C brands, startups, and creators. Vocal for local — rank is the amount paid. Nothing else.

How ranking works

  • Amounts are whole rupees. Minimum listing is ₹99.
  • Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at whatever rank that amount can take. Equal amounts stay in the order they were placed — the older listing keeps the higher rank.
  • Enter the same website or handle again to raise that listing. You only pay the difference. Nobody else can raise your listing by paying that difference for you.
  • App Store, Play Store, and social links are keyed by their path, so different apps do not share a listing. Tracking query strings are stripped.
  • A leaderboard takeover costs 2 × the current #1 amount and locks ranks 1–10 for 3 hours. Only one takeover can be live at a time.

What you can list

  • A product website, or an Instagram, X, YouTube, or LinkedIn profile — built, sold, or run from India.
  • App Store and Play Store listings for Indian apps.
  • Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for products and public profiles, not group chats.
  • Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
  • Link shorteners are not allowed. Submit the real destination.
  • Short pitch, 160 characters. Keep it a product, not a manifesto.

After you pay

  • Your listing is public. Clicks go through BharatBuilds so the counter stays honest, then redirect to the URL you submitted.
  • A completed payment is what claims the rank. Failed or cancelled payments do nothing.
  • Payments are in INR — UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets. There is no revenue share, no ad network, and no algorithm to game.
  • Listings that break these rules can be removed. The amount paid is not refunded.
  • Spelling mistake on your name or pitch? Send us the listing URL and the correct wording — we fix it from the desk. Rank and amount stay. If you raise your listing with the same link, the new name and pitch overwrite the old ones.
