We built the home CNC India was missing.
ASK CNC is a purpose-built marketplace for India's CNC, VMC, and industrial automation ecosystem. We connect verified buyers, sellers, and service providers — without the broker, without the noise.
Pan-India reachFrom Pune machine shops to Chennai OEMs — every corner of India's CNC supply chain, on one platform.
Our Mission
Make CNC buying and selling effortless for every professional in India — from a single spare part to a full machining centre.
Our Vision
Become the most trusted vertical marketplace for industrial machinery across all of South and Southeast Asia.
Who We Serve
Machine shops, OEMs, job-workers, traders, importers, and individual engineers across India's CNC ecosystem.
Our Promise
Free to list, zero broker commission, real listings, and a grievance process that actually resolves in 15 days.
To make buying, selling, and discovering CNC machinery across India as simple, transparent, and commission-free as it should have always been.
Broken discovery
Buyers in Rajkot can't find verified sellers in Coimbatore without paying a broker 20–30% extra.
Opaque pricing
Deals closed behind broker relationships mean pricing stays hidden, inflated, and unfair.
Zero reach for small workshops
A job-shop in Ludhiana with a retired VMC has no way to reach buyers beyond their own city.
We built a single, structured, searchable destination where the CNC supply chain connects directly — no broker in the middle, no commission on the deal, no city limit on your reach.
Every CNC professional in India, from any city, finds exactly what they need — machine, part, tooling, or service — within minutes.
Sellers reach qualified buyers directly — without paying commissions or depending on broker relationships.
Pricing becomes transparent industry-wide because deals happen in the open, not behind closed doors.
Small workshops and individual engineers have the same reach as large trading houses and importers.
India's CNC ecosystem has a home it can trust and rely on — with verified listings, clear policies, and real accountability.
The most trusted industrial marketplace in South Asia.
Today we serve India's CNC sector. But the problems we're solving — fragmented discovery, broker dependency, opacity in industrial B2B commerce — exist across every segment of the manufacturing supply chain, in every country from India to Indonesia.
Our vision is to be the vertical marketplace that industrial professionals turn to first: not because it's the biggest, but because it's the most focused, the most trusted, and the easiest to use.
Depth before width
Master CNC in India completely before expanding to adjacent categories or geographies. Being the best in one niche beats being average in ten.
Trust as infrastructure
Build verification, structured specs, and accountability into the platform at every layer — so trust isn't a feature, it's the foundation.
Democratise access
A workshop in tier-3 India should have the same access to buyers and sellers as a dealer in a metro. Technology should erase that gap, not widen it.

Near-term prioritiesHow we got here
From a frustration with broken discovery in India's CNC market to a platform serving professionals across 28 states.
The frustration that started it all
Our founders — working in and around India's CNC and manufacturing sector — kept running into the same problem: finding a machine, part, or service meant cold-calling brokers, digging through irrelevant general classifieds, or relying entirely on word of mouth. The information existed; it just had no organised home.
Origin · Pune, MaharashtraASK CNC goes live
We launched with a core set of CNC-specific categories, a clean listing experience, and one firm rule: free to post, no commissions ever. The first sellers were small workshops in Pune and Mumbai who had good machines but no reach beyond their city. Within weeks, enquiries were crossing state lines.
First listings live · MaharashtraPan-India reach, 28 states and growing
Sellers from Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Telangana, and beyond started joining. We expanded our categories beyond VMC and CNC lathes to include plasma cutters, wire EDM, tooling, spare parts, and service providers. The breadth of inventory began reflecting the real shape of India's machine-tool ecosystem.
28 states · 5,000+ sellersBuilding the infrastructure layer for India's CNC trade
10,000+ active listings. A verified seller network. A support desk that resolves issues — not just acknowledges them. And a roadmap that includes regional language support, logistics integrations with heavy-machinery specialists, and inspection networks to make remote buying safer. We're early in what this can become.

Principles we don't compromise on
The values that guide every product decision, policy call, and support interaction we make.
Radical transparency
Real specs, real locations, real prices — on every listing. No inflated broker figures, no hidden fees, no opaque ranking algorithms that push paid results over genuine ones.
Niche depth over breadth
We will never list cars, furniture, or electronics. Every category we add must serve CNC and industrial automation professionals. Being the best in one niche beats being average in ten.
Seller dignity
Listing is free. Always. We believe a seller who can reach buyers easily will come back, bring peers, and grow the ecosystem. We grow when our sellers grow — not before.
Buyer protection
Every listing passes a basic quality check. Sellers are contactable, listings are genuine, and if something goes wrong our grievance process is fast, documented, and held to a legal deadline.
Built for India, truly
GST-inclusive thinking, regional language support on the roadmap, logistics partners comfortable with multi-tonne machines — we build for how India actually does business, not a Western SaaS template.
Ship, learn, improve
Every piece of feedback — from buyers, sellers, or our own team — feeds directly into the next sprint. We don't wait for annual roadmap reviews. We fix things fast and ship constantly.
Not all marketplaces are equal
Generic classifieds weren't designed for industrial machinery. Here's what makes the difference.
Simple by design
Whether you're buying or selling, the process is short, free, and built around you — not the broker.
