Indiangadiwala

Overview

Indiangadiwala is a used-car marketplace serving Bhopal, built to replace a listings-and-phone-calls business with something buyers and sellers can run themselves. Buyers search a curated, inspected inventory and filter it by the brands that actually move locally — Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Honda and Toyota — while sellers go through a three-step flow: share the car's details and photos, get an instant quote, and get paid once the sale closes.

The front end is a Next.js App Router build with Tailwind CSS, exported statically and served behind LiteSpeed so listing pages load instantly on the mid-range Android phones most of the traffic arrives on. Accounts, enquiries and the valuation flow run against the REST API, and every buy-or-sell call to action hands off to WhatsApp with the message already written for that intent — which is where this market's conversations actually happen.

The problem

The business ran on classifieds posts and phone calls. Buyers had no way to see what was actually in stock or filter it by the brand they wanted, and sellers had no idea what their car was worth until someone rang them back — so both sides dropped out of the funnel before anyone spoke.

The solution

Built a marketplace front end on Next.js and Tailwind: a searchable, brand-filtered inventory of inspected cars, a featured collection on the landing page, accounts for returning buyers, and a three-step sell flow that puts a quote in front of a seller immediately. Every call to action opens WhatsApp with the enquiry already written, so the handoff to a human keeps the context.
