## What is Hospiverse India?

Hospiverse India (hospiverse.in) is a B2B procurement marketplace exclusively for the Indian hospitality and foodservice (HORECA) sector. It is NOT a consumer e-commerce platform.

- Headquarters: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
- Market: India (pan-India delivery and sourcing)
- Sector: HORECA — Hotel, Restaurant, Catering (not healthcare or hospitals)
- Model: B2B marketplace — free for buyers, subscription plans for suppliers
