Our Core Beliefs

Cutting-edge technology is our key driver. It keeps us striving to achieve more.

What gets measured, gets improved. Data is at the core of everything that we do.

Our Story

Every start-up has a unique ‘start-up’ story and it is only when everything comes together, that one can connect the dots. Browntape started as a solution to a problem.

Back when co-founder Piyush Goel was completing his PhD in the UK, his friends began selling products on eBay. Luckily for them (and what was to be Browntape); they started doing well. However, they soon realised that their growing online business was translating into painful & tedious daily operations; especially, for managing orders and inventories.

“Scrobbld”

In the backdrop of increasing pain of managing daily order volumes with manual processes, Piyush, along with Ian Morgan, built a quick tool to help their friends keep track of their orders, shipments & more. The tool helped in cutting down the time spent on day-to-day operations. Soon they realised that they could help more sellers with this and launched Scrobbld.

Parting Ways

As studying came to an end; Ian & Piyush parted ways. Ian went on to writing programs to diagnose faulty marine engines and other machine learning applications in the UK, alongside being a guardian to Scrobbld. Piyush’s interest in user experience design led him to join a leading UX design firm in the sunny sandy land of Goa- India.

Browntape is Born

Most successful start-up stories are influenced by the element of being in the right place, at the right time and finding the right people. The ‘leading UX design firm’ in Goa, happened to be headed by Gurpreet Singh. In four years, under his leadership, the design firm grew from scratch to just under a million dollar in turn-over. Geared by this experience, Gurpreet decided to join Piyush & Ian, to take Scrobbld to the next level.

A quick trip to the UK, brought all three partners on the same page. India was in the very early stages of e-commerce at the time; but the team had to foresight to see that it would be the next big thing. Using Scrobbld as the platform, they began working on the next version of the service, ground up. They called it Browntape.
