Rules

BharatBid is a public pay-to-rank board for Indian products, startups, and creators. Rank is money. Nothing else.

How ranking works

  • Bids are whole rupees. Minimum bid is ₹99.
  • Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older listing keeps the higher rank.
  • Enter the same website or handle again to raise that listing. You only pay the difference. Nobody else can raise your listing by paying that difference for you.
  • App Store, Play Store, and social links are keyed by their path, so different apps do not share a bid. Tracking query strings are stripped.
  • A leaderboard takeover costs 2 × the current #1 bid and locks ranks 1–10 for 3 hours. Only one takeover can be live at a time.

What you can list

  • A product website, or an Instagram, X, YouTube, or LinkedIn profile.
  • App Store and Play Store listings.
  • Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for products and public profiles, not group chats.
  • Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
  • Link shorteners are not allowed. Submit the real destination.
  • Short pitch, 160 characters. Keep it a product, not a manifesto.

After you pay

  • Your listing is public. Clicks go through BharatBid so the counter stays honest, then redirect to the URL you submitted.
  • A completed payment is what claims the rank. Failed or cancelled payments do nothing.
  • Payments are in INR via Razorpay — UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets. There is no revenue share, no ad network, and no algorithm to game.
  • Listings that break these rules can be removed. The bid is not refunded.
