The vision
Why Glassy exists.
For most of the last forty years, glass in India was sold the way most building trades were sold — through phone calls, word of mouth and trips to the local shop. The right craftsman often lived three lanes away. The right manufacturer was an introduction nobody had. A homeowner planning a bathroom paid 2× what the same job cost down the street, simply because they didn’t know what to ask, or who to ask.
Glassy India was started to fix that asymmetry. We index every legitimate glass business in the country — architect, interior designer, glass shop, fabricator, dealer, manufacturer — and connect the person needing glass with the right people for their project. No commission, no markup, no hidden routing.
When I started in 1986, I would walk a customer through six lanes of Karol Bagh to introduce them to the right glass mason. Glassy India is that walk — for every Indian home, every architect, every shop owner — done from a phone.
