The Catalogue Math

Three numbers that move a village.

  • ₹3,000–₹6,000

    Saved per household per month

    When active across 15–20 of the 108 listings.

  • 43,200

    Monthly transactions per chapter

    At 200 active members trading twice a month each.

  • 108

    Listings · 24 sectors · 1 BC = ₹200

    Foundation catalogue — scales to 250+ per chapter.

Every barter trade is a vote for local resilience. Every BC earned stays in your community.

Three voices. Same ledger.

  • 480 hours fixing cycles & teaching kids. The same village installed solar on my roof. That is bNg.
