About CemX

We are India’s first digital cement procurement company, an aggregator platform that facilitates a direct supply channel between the large dealerships of cement and the end consumers that may be a real estate company, builders or small retailers lower down on the supply chain in the B2B domain while it also targets individual customers on the B2C side. We aim to achieve parity and transparency in cement pricing by removing any arbitrage for offering economies of scale on cement pricing. We therefore are breaking the barriers of geographic segregations and demographics by disrupting the human-middlemen supply chain.

Founded in May 2019, cemX enables its customers to buy cement of different brands available in the Indian market at the best competitive prices. It has efficiently redesigned the orthodox cement distribution channel. cemX therefore aims to democratize the purchasing power of the consumer namely the middle- and lower-class segments of Indian society.
