Anand, Gujarat | June 2026
India’s chemical industry is one of the fastest-growing industrial sectors, contributing significantly to manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, paints, textiles, and specialty chemicals. Despite its scale, a large portion of chemical trading still depends on traditional methods such as phone calls, WhatsApp communication, and personal networks.
To modernize this ecosystem, entrepreneurs Vijay Kasotiya (Founder & CEO) and Akshay Jethwa (Tech Co-Founder) launched Prochem Marketplace Private Limited, a dedicated B2B digital marketplace built specifically for India’s chemical industry.
Solving a Long-Standing Industry Challenge
Chemical buyers often struggle to find reliable suppliers, while manufacturers and traders face difficulties reaching new customers across India. The sourcing process can be time-consuming, fragmented, and inefficient.
Prochem aims to solve these challenges by bringing buyers, sellers, manufacturers, distributors, and importers onto a single technology platform.
“Our vision is to make chemical trading in India simpler, faster, and more transparent through technology,” said Vijay Kasotiya, Founder & CEO of Prochem Marketplace.
Building a Dedicated Marketplace for the Chemical Industry
Unlike general B2B platforms, Prochem focuses exclusively on chemicals and industrial raw materials.
The platform enables businesses to:
- List chemical products and catalogs
- Receive buyer inquiries from across India
- Connect with verified suppliers and manufacturers
- Share quotations quickly and efficiently
- Discover new business opportunities
- Expand their reach beyond local markets
- Build long-term business relationships
The company believes that digital access can help thousands of small and medium-sized chemical businesses compete more effectively in the national market.
Technology Driving Growth
Technology development at Prochem is led by Akshay Jethwa, Tech Co-Founder, who is focused on building a scalable and user-friendly platform designed specifically for industrial businesses.
“Traditional industries are rapidly adopting digital solutions. We want Prochem to become the preferred platform where chemical businesses connect, trade, and grow,” said Akshay Jethwa.
The platform is being continuously enhanced with new features aimed at improving product discovery, buyer-seller communication, and business networking.
Empowering Indian SMEs
India’s chemical ecosystem includes thousands of manufacturers, traders, distributors, and industrial buyers. Many of these businesses operate with limited digital visibility.
Prochem seeks to bridge this gap by providing an accessible platform where companies of all sizes can showcase their products and connect with customers nationwide.
The founders believe that digital marketplaces can significantly improve efficiency, transparency, and growth opportunities across the chemical supply chain.
Looking Ahead
As India’s manufacturing sector continues to expand, the need for specialized digital marketplaces is expected to grow rapidly.
Prochem’s long-term vision is to become India’s leading chemical marketplace by helping businesses discover opportunities, generate leads, build partnerships, and simplify procurement processes.
With technology at its core and a strong focus on industry-specific solutions, Prochem is positioning itself as a key player in the digital transformation of India’s chemical trade.
