It targets 45 million individual sellers and 100 million unserved users with zero competitors in the space.", "body_md": "##\nIndia Has ZERO Live Auction Platforms. I Built One.\n\nImagine selling a **₹50,000 Banarasi silk saree** to a buyer in another city. You show it on WhatsApp photos (no trust). They ask for details (no video). You negotiate for hours (no real-time).\n\nIndian collectibles market = **$16 billion**. Individual sellers = **45 million**. Unserved users = **100 million**. First-mover = **0 competitors**.\n\nThis is the opportunity. I built **BazaarLive** – the **Indian Whatnot** – for H0: Hack the Zero Stack.\n\n##\nWhat I Built\n\nBazaarLive is live video auctions for India's collectibles market. Sellers go live via camera, showcase silk sarees, antiques, or jewelry in real-time.
