1.What are the biggest opportunities and challenges?
Ans. Praful Chauhan, founder of ScarBID says Scrap sector has been one of the largest sectors in terms of both quantity and worth. India imports more than 6 million tons of metal scrap and around 30 million tons of scrap is being produced by Indian Industries. So, as we are moving towards digital age, we have a big opportunity ahead.
Some challenges that Scrabid might face in its early stage are-
2.Does you have plans to enter new markets? If so, what are they and what is the timescale?
Ans. Right now we are fully focused to make Scrabid a successful scrap trading platform. But definitely we have plans to enter new markets after a year or so.
3. How big is the market for the product? How fast is it growing? Is it a stable market?
Ans. Market for our service is quite huge! Every industrial unit or an institution producing bulk scrap and buyers like recycling industries, melting furnaces or a scrap dealer is our customer.
With increase in industrialization and global trade, scrap sector will also grow simultaneously and looking at the present scenario of our nation, it is emerging as a potential leading recycling nation thus, creating a huge market for our service.
Scrap market as a whole can be considered stable, although prices of scrap materials, especially ferrous scrap, fluctuate a lot due to various factors.

Ans. Only Beta version of our platform is live now and it has limited features at present. But soon main features will be added and only after that we can analyze its growth.
7. What make you to work on this project?
Ans. I have always dreamt about doing something big and significant. I have a deadly combination of Creativity and Problem Solving skills. Looking at the present scenario of scrap trade in India especially in industrial zones, there are numerous problems associated with Scrap trade like it is unorganized trade, lack of transparency, emergence of scrap mafia, etc. These challenges can be converted into opportunity and that is what make me to work on this project. Therefore, here I see the chance to enter into the world of entrepreneurship and to do something that can contribute to the nation as well.

Ans. Well, Scrabid was registered under the CM Startup Scheme HP, in the month of June, 2018 and we started receiving incubation from Jaypee University, Solan under this scheme. As a young age entrepreneur, I really feel confident that State government is providing a lot of amazing incentives under this scheme that will definitely help in building a great start-up ecosystem in the state. This will create a solid foundation for the future job creators.
