FindStone
is the vision of Vinay Somani, an engineer from the reputed
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and an MBA from the prestigious Harvard
Business School, USA. He has 20 years experience in the stone industry - from
selling Italian machinery and projects, to owning and operating a black granite
quarry, to exporting and travelling worldwide in this connection.
Since stone is a
natural material and the industry is quite disorganized, Vinay could realize firsthand
the frustrations of buyers and sellers. He felt that an unbiased indepth
one-stop resource would be of great benefit to stone users and suppliers alike. So
he founded this website in 1998. FindStone was funded by Venture Capitalists in
2000 and taken into a new company. The VCs stake was bought over in 2003. FindStone
is now fully owned by Vinay.
The
company is situated in the heart of Bombay’s business district. The road
- H. Somani Road - has been named in honor of Vinay's family. Vinay
is now more involved in his non-stone business interests.
