GATHER Everything for your celebration. In one place. THE IDEA Planning a party should feel exciting. In practice, it becomes a project: finding a caterer on Instagram, messaging a decorator on WhatsApp, calling a baker, chasing entertainment and a photographer, then coordinating everyone yourself. Gather brings all of that into one place. It is a marketplace for celebrations where people can discover, compare, customise and book everything they need for a party. The one thing we do not provide is the venue. The host brings the space, and Gather builds everything around it. HOW GATHER WORKS 01 Tell us about your party Share the occasion, whether a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anniversary, dinner, kids' party, corporate event or any other celebration, along with date, time, guest count, location, budget and preferences. 02 Build your party Choose what is needed, from food and catering to cakes, decor, entertainment, photography, return gifts and party rentals. 03 Find the right vendors Browse verified vendors, view their work, compare prices, explore menus and packages, read reviews and check availability. Pick and mix until it feels right. 04 Book it all together Rather than managing several bookings, create one Gather Party Plan, review everything in one place, and book through a single checkout. WHAT MAKES GATHER DIFFERENT Gather is not simply a directory of party vendors. Rather than showing hundreds of options and leaving people to work it out, we aim to understand the celebration first and then help build it. The experience starts with one question: “What are you planning?” From there, Gather turns an idea into a complete, bookable party. A SIMPLE EXAMPLE A 30-person birthday party with a budget of ₹75,000 might look like this: Asian buffet ₹24,000 Custom cake ₹5,500 Themed decor ₹17,000 Kids activity ₹7,500 Photography ₹9,000 Return gifts ₹5,900 Total ₹68,900 Any vendor or service can be swapped individually, without starting the plan over. THE OPPORTUNITY The celebration market remains fragmented. Customers spend time coordinating multiple suppliers, while vendors rely heavily on Instagram, WhatsApp and word of mouth to find and manage business. Gather sits in the middle and makes the experience easier for both sides. Customers: Discover → Compare → Customise → Book → Manage Vendors: Get discovered → Receive bookings → Manage availability → Get paid → Build a reputation HOW GATHER MAKES MONEY The core revenue model is commission on successful vendor bookings. Over time, Gather can add customer booking fees, vendor subscriptions, featured placements, premium party packages, payment services and cancellation or protection products, building a genuine transaction platform rather than another source of leads for vendors. WHERE THIS CAN GO Phase 1 Marketplace Bring together trusted vendors, menus, activities and bookings. Phase 2 Party Builder Let customers combine different vendors into one customised celebration. Phase 3 Party Management Bring payments, contracts, schedules and vendor coordination into one place. Phase 4 AI Party Planner A customer describes what they want, their guest count and their budget, and Gather generates complete party ideas to choose from and customise. THE BIG IDEA We do not want Gather to be an app where people simply find party vendors. We want it to be the place people go when they have something to celebrate. From the first idea to the last guest leaving, Gather should make hosting feel easier, more enjoyable and far less stressful. GATHER · Plan it. Build it. Celebrate it.
