Vendors walk blind
Routes are chosen on instinct. A lane full of waiting customers two streets away is invisible.
An awareness initiative for India's street economy
The street
comes to you.
StreetBuddy connects the vendors who keep our streets alive — sabziwalas, fruit carts, chaiwalas, tool-sellers — with the neighbours who want them. Right now. Right here.

Every day, a guessing game
Great vendors. Hungry neighbours. No way to find each other.
Customers just miss them
The fruit cart passed at 10. You looked out at 10:15. There's no way to say "come by my street".
Fresh stock goes to waste
Unsold produce at the end of the day is lost income for the people who can least afford it.
How StreetBuddy works
Four taps from "is anyone coming?" to "here they are".
-
1
The vendor goes on duty
One tap in the vendor app. Their cart appears to customers nearby — only while they're working.
-
2
Neighbours see who's close
Filter by what you need — vegetables, fruit, chai, household goods — and see ratings from your area.
-
3
Requests light up the map
Customers ask for a visit. Requests from the same area gather into demand hotspots.
-
4
The cart goes where it's wanted
Vendors walk toward people who are already waiting. Fewer wasted kilometres, more sales, fresher stock.
Built for the real street
Made for patchy networks, busy hands and every kind of town.
Works offline
Sales, stock and duty status are saved on the phone and sync when the signal comes back.
Location with care
Customers see a vendor's approximate position, and only while that vendor is on duty.
Cities, towns, villages
Categories are configured locally, so a hill-town flower seller fits as well as a metro fruit cart.
Earnings at a glance
Vendors record cash sales in seconds and see what each day, item and route actually earned.

Questions, answered
Who can join as a vendor?
Anyone selling on the move or from a regular spot — fresh produce, food, household goods, clothing, tools and repairs, and more. Categories are managed locally, so new kinds of vendors can be added.
Do I need internet all the time?
No. The vendor app keeps working without a connection — sales, stock and duty changes are stored on the phone and sent when the network returns.
Does the app share my exact location?
Customers see a vendor's approximate location, and only while the vendor is on duty. When a customer asks for a visit, the area they choose is shared with vendors so they know where demand is.
How are vendors checked?
Vendor profiles are reviewed and verified by the StreetBuddy team, and customer ratings help everyone see who's reliable.
How do I delete my account?
From the profile screen in either app, or from the web at the account-deletion page — no app needed.
