What is Hotlink?
Hotlink is a platform that is meant to connect buyers and sellers by forming a network in an environment that’s convenient, efficient and trustworthy. Vineet elaborates it in these words:
“What we are proposing on this platform is a telecom-like subscriber model of how a buyer and seller or a set of distributors in a network would work with each other with trust around them.”
He says that this platform assures its users of the trust factor that is usually missing in other companies. It guarantees privacy and thus transparency to the enterprises registered, also to the business transactions between the buyer and the seller. The data isn’t misused. All this facilitates the ease of doing business in the real sense.
How does it Work?
The moment someone creates a business account on Hotlink, they can connect to other businesses thus forming a network. Whether they want to publish the price of their product or not is up to them. The model allows them to do the management their way and doesn’t have a rigid system of how they choose to work.

They are free to set it up their own way.
