Digitization of retail experience is a new traction in today’s market. Even the commercial printers today are seeking digital store front to offer their services. It is the fragmented sector of India, where 77 percent of market is run by family run business and 40 percent of printing machine capacity remains underutilized. On the other hand, corporate customers dealing with agents (middlemen) are unable to access the real printers even after paying a higher price. These challenges create an invariable gap of about $36 billion in the printing market. Challenging this need gap, Avijit Mukherje, an experienced veteran of the printing industry and Arghya Chakravarty, who was spearheading the e-Commerce space for decades, joined hands to incept UrPrinters.com, India’s first B2B printing marketplace.

Founding UrPrinters.com had not been an easy task. The co-founders dually aver, “We travelled across country to test our Hypothesis in every market. Although there are nuances, we advanced with a key perspective to productize and standardize our offering”. Currently, it is one of the top e-Commerce platforms serving comprehensive business-printing needs, providing on-time delivery of right quality materials, functioning in eight cities across India.

Watertight Quality Check-Points
In this unorganized market of printing industry, maintaining print & the paper quality poses to be the biggest challenge to maintain product uniformity. UrPrinters.com has standardized the printing process in even sizes. To check printing quality, the QC team uses pantone color matching procedure, run per unit of production. For paper quality, it uses GSM mismatch index. The exact readings of the product QCs are shared with the clients to maintain complete transparency in its services. Avijit adds, “We also do sampling and have our own operation head stationed at each centre, checking and sharing inputs with the central team”.

Since inception, UrPrinters.com has worked with several startups such as OYO, Go Mechanic, Rivigo and many more apart from serving CII and ACMA. Arghya concludes, “We are acting strong on the mantra of tech development to add more features offering seamless client transaction”.
