From Struggles to Success: How Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax from Bihar

Sudarshan Kashyap grew up watching his family run a small lubricant business in Bihar. After co-founding HouseBoon and leading product at COPARTNER, he came back to solve a problem he had lived firsthand — small automotive businesses struggling with supply, deliveries, and credit. He built BrooMax, a B2B commerce and credit platform that crossed ₹20 lakhs in monthly revenue within months, proving that real solutions come from real experience. Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax not in a fancy office but in the heart of a problem he had lived and breathed his entire life.

Sudarshan Kashyap did not grow up reading startup books or dreaming about venture capital. He grew up watching his family manage a small lubricant retail business in Bihar, counting stock, handling suppliers, waiting on delayed deliveries, and doing it all with very little support from anyone. As a kid, Sudarshan just watched. He did not realise then that everything he was seeing was quietly being stored somewhere inside him, and that one day it would become the very reason he built something of his own.

That day did not come immediately, though. Before finding his way back, Sudarshan had his own road to walk.

He co-founded HouseBoon, an AI-driven rental marketplace. He put in the work, built a real product, and grew it to ₹1.25 crore in revenue. Then they pivoted. It hurt. It always does. But Sudarshan did not walk away from it feeling like a failure; he walked away knowing more about building products than most people learn in years. That experience sharpened him in ways that comfort never could have. Every failure on this road was quietly shaping the man who would one day say that Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax because he refused to let experience go to waste.

He then went on to lead product at COPARTNER, a platform built around digital creators. It was a completely different world, but the hunger was the same. Build something that actually works. Build it for real people. Make it matter.

But even while he was doing all of that, something kept coming back to him. Not a memory. A problem. One he had grown up watching and had never seen anyone properly solve.

Small automotive businesses across India garages, local retailers, roadside suppliers were all dealing with the same pain every single day. Supply was inconsistent. Deliveries were delayed. Credit was almost impossible to access. And the people running these businesses had no real platform to lean on. They were just managing, somehow, every day the same way his family had. Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax because he had seen this pain from the inside and could no longer watch it go unsolved.

Sudarshan had seen this problem from the inside. He knew it was not a small problem. He knew it was not going away on its own. And he knew that the people best placed to solve it were the ones who had actually lived it, not just studied it from a distance.

The rise of BROOMAX

So in 2025, he stopped waiting for someone else to fix it. He built BrooMax.

BrooMax is a B2B commerce and credit platform built specifically for garages, small retailers, and local suppliers. Not for big cities. Not for businesses that already have everything figured out. For the ones that keep India moving every day but have always been an afterthought when it comes to technology and financial support. Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax for the businesses that everyone else had overlooked and underserved for far too long.

The results came faster than most expected. In just a few months, over 1000 orders shipped, 300-plus buyers and suppliers connected, and more than ₹20 lakhs in monthly recurring revenue. Not because of luck. Because the demand was always sitting there, waiting. Waiting for someone who understood the problem well enough to actually solve it. Waiting for someone who would build for Bharat, not just the metros. The numbers prove that when Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax, he was not building for a market; he was answering a call that had been waiting for years.

BrooMax is now backed by HNI investors and Bihar Startup Policy funding. The ground covered is real. And the ground still left to cover is even bigger. Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax on a foundation strong enough to scale, and every new investor and partnership is proof that the vision is only getting bigger.

Sudarshan’s story is not about overnight success. It is not about one big idea that changed everything in a moment. It is about a man who paid attention to his family, to his failures, to the problems sitting right in front of him  and then did something about it.

He teaches us that the most powerful thing you can build is something you have personally felt the need for. That failure is not the opposite of success; it is part of the road that leads there. That the businesses everyone overlooks are often the ones with the most real, urgent, and unsolved problems.

Most of all, he reminds us that going back to your roots is not a step backwards. Sometimes it is the most forward thing you can do.

Sudarshan Kashyap did not set out to be a founder. He set out to fix something broken. And in doing that, he built something that matters. Sudarshan Kashyap Built BrooMax and in doing so, reminded every entrepreneur from a small town that your roots are not your limitation; they are your greatest competitive advantage.
