Biztoso Launches India's First Social Platform for Businesses in India

PNN
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], October 11: In a move set to redefine India's SME digital landscape, Biztoso, a new-age social media platform for businesses, has officially launched from Bangalore and is now live on Android and web platforms.
Unlike conventional marketplaces or consumer-focused social apps, Biztoso is designed exclusively for entrepreneurs, retailers, and service providers to create business profiles, showcase products, and build networks -- all in one place.
With features such as Virtual Storefronts, Messenger, Multi-Lingual Support, and Lead Generation, the platform aims to democratize digital presence for India's 63 million small and medium businesses.
"While marketplaces focus on sales and social apps focus on engagement, Biztoso combines both -- visibility and conversion -- in a single experience," says Founder & CEO, Venkatesh Irkal
From a Kirana Shop in Hubballi to Building Biztoso in Bangalore
The story of Biztoso's founder Venkatesh Irkal, is a testament to India's entrepreneurial spirit.
From spending his childhood helping his father in a wholesale kirana shop, to becoming a developer, and finally creating a tech platform that empowers small businesses -- this journey embodies the transformation of Indian enterprise.
In 2023, he realized that while India's SMEs were driving the economy, they remained invisible online -- stuck between expensive e-commerce platforms and social media apps not built for business. That's when Biztoso was born -- a social media platform made by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
After two years of development, Biztoso went live in October 2025, with a mission to bring every Indian business online.
"Our mission is simple," says the founder. "We want to give every Indian business -- no matter how small -- a chance to be seen, heard, and connected. Biztoso is built to help business owners who were once invisible online find their space in the digital economy."
Building a Digital Community for India's Growth Story
India is home to over 63 million small and medium enterprises, contributing nearly 30% of the nation's GDP and employing over 110 million people. Yet, less than 20% of these businesses have a consistent online presence.
Biztoso aims to change that narrative by becoming the go-to digital ecosystem for SMEs -- a space where businesses can:
* Create authentic digital profiles
