Documented cause
WedMeGood raised $7.3M across multiple rounds including a $5M Series A in 2018 from Aarin Capital and IDG Ventures to challenge WeddingWire India and Shaadi.com. Despite reaching 150,000 vendor listings across 50 Indian cities by 2020, the platform struggled with vendor commission refusal — only 22% of bookings converted through the platform rather than via direct vendor contact. Founders Mehak Sagar and Anand Mahajan could not demonstrate sustainable unit economics to investors. The platform was wound down in late 2022 after Series B discussions failed.
Lesson
“Indian SME marketplaces must solve the bypass problem before scaling listings or face structural revenue failure.”
