How We Helped Business Owners Get Their Brand Registered On GeM (And You Can Too!)

A few months ago, my friend Raj called me in a frenzy. “Avinash, you won’t believe it,” he said, “I’ve just been told that I need to get my brand registered on GeM to supply to the government. I have no clue where to start!” I laughed, not because it was funny, but because I knew exactly how daunting “official procedures” can feel—until you break them down step by step. If you’ve ever felt the same way, stick around. Let me walk you through Brand Registration on GeM, just like I did for Raj.

What is GeM, and Why Does Brand Registration Matter?

First things first, GeM, or the Government e-Marketplace, is like Amazon, but for government buyers. It’s the one-stop platform for procurement, allowing businesses like Raj’s (and yours!) to sell directly to government organizations. The catch? You need to complete Brand Registration on GeM before listing your products.

Brand Registration essentially verifies your business and brand, ensuring you meet the government’s requirements. Without it, your chances of securing those lucrative government contracts? Zilch.

My First Question: “What Does It Cost?”

Raj’s immediate concern—and probably yours too—was, “How much does Brand Registration on GeM cost?” Here’s the good news: registering your brand on GeM is free. Yes, you heard that right. The actual cost comes from the time and effort required to gather documents and follow the steps (more on that soon).

However, if you hire professionals to assist, like consultants or agencies, they may charge a service fee. In Raj’s case, he was ready to invest in expert help to save time, and honestly, it was worth every rupee.

Documents Needed: The Treasure Hunt Begins!

I jokingly told Raj that gathering the required paperwork was like hunting for treasure—it can feel overwhelming, but every document gets you closer to the prize. For Brand Registration on GeM Documents, here’s what you’ll need:

Trademark Certificate – To prove your brand’s authenticity.

Company Incorporation Certificate – This shows your business is legit.

PAN Card & GST Certificate – Because taxes are a must!

Product Details – High-quality images and specs for each product you want to list.

Authorization Letter – If someone else is managing the registration for you.

Raj had most of these ready but was missing the Trademark Certificate. It delayed the process slightly, but with some quick action, he got it sorted.

Step-by-Step: The Brand Registration on GeM Procedure

Once Raj had his documents in order, it was time for the actual process. Here’s the simplified version:

Create a GeM Seller Account: Register on the GeM portal using your business’s details.

Apply for Brand Approval: Upload all required documents and submit your brand details.

Product Listing: Once your brand is approved, start listing your products.

The tricky part was waiting for approval. Sometimes it takes weeks, so patience is key. I told Raj, “Think of it like baking a cake. You’ve done all the prep; now you just have to let it cook.”

Why Bother? The Benefits of Brand Registration on GeM

By now, you might be wondering, “Is it really worth the effort?” Raj certainly thought so when he received his first government order. Being on GeM opens doors to a massive market of government buyers who prioritize quality and reliability.

Plus, there’s transparency in pricing and payments, and the exposure your brand gets? Priceless.

Final Thoughts: It’s Easier Than You Think

Raj’s journey from clueless to confident taught me something important: Brand Registration on GeM might sound complicated, but with the right guidance, it’s completely doable. If you’re feeling stuck, take a deep breath and start with the basics.

And hey, if Raj can do it, so can you! Whether you’re a small business or a big one, registering your brand on GeM is a game-changer.

i kinda want to do a low stakes Event with other people’s sims … i haven’t in several hot minutes, and i feel like it’d be good motivation to actually finish a mini project. so. would anyone be interested—? i have been obsessed recently and specifically with the Film Festival™ as a location. really, who wouldn’t like some glamorous, artsy celebrity content … boats and red carpets and bistro tables and panels with little name plates and silly beach photoshoots …

There’s an hoa neighborhood down the road from me (it wasn’t there when I lived here as a kid, truly a weird place to put an hoa too..) and they have a large field for the hoa members to use that I have only ever seen in use once. I bet it’d be a good place to bring juniper and a herding ball.

Honestly, I made that joke about Van’s ancient desktop, but it probably works better than new computers. And it made me think: god, Van must HATE planned obsolescence. Stuff that’s built to die? Stuff that’s built to fall apart in a matter of years just to force you to buy more? For a person whose whole deal is gripping tight to the past, to old technology that still works perfectly fine, to the idea of survival threaded through everything from the stories she tells to the machines she rents out? Yeah, dude. No wonder she hates her cell phone. Not only does it force the illusion of connection without actually granting intimacy, but it’s doomed from the minute you take the thing out of the box. For Van, the very idea has got to be offensive.

the influencers who build their platforms on celebrating plus sized bodies only to become fitness accounts promoting thinness over everything are the weakest people around fuck y'all for real

Frankly I think Trump kind of undercut the boost he might've gotten from the assassination attempt by announcing that he'd appointed a flashy famous idiot as running mate. I guess he couldn't have helped the assassin being a pitiful white guy not even old enough to drink, or Biden dropping out, but I heard about J.D. Vance and immediately became distracted thinking about Amy Adams's recent career missteps. Not permanently--I'm not a goldfish--but I don't think that's a good sign.

Listen man I’m all for people having fun but people who say they are “ Marauders “ fans and not Harry Potter fans gotta be the worst kinda people. Like 1) always American, you don’t have to deal with that freaks political meddling and 2) Are you honestly so spineless that you can’t give up your fandom of something because it’s hurting people.

making it impossible to envy the lives of those i see on the internet by employing the constant reminder that there are a million more interesting people that do not cut their entire being into bite size pieces for internet consumption and that i would rather be one of those million than a tiktok star

drabble , domestic simon who loves your tits & wicked 18+ gaslight king

"were you just singing?"

"negative."

"simon, we live alone."

the shower is scalding. his pale, freckled skin aflush under the stream and you yank your hand away, hissing, when you test the waters.

"so?" his stare is dissembling. leering. even more so as he watches you strip through the vinyl. he rubs soap over the dusty curls protecting his hefty softened cock. ruddy, bulbous head drooping under its own weight despite how he gripes it at the base.

gives himself a little tug when you pull back the curtain once more—hand tucked into your armpit, forearm braced over the fat of your tits; prudish, as if his teeth aren't branded into your cleavage—to test the now cooler water.

you cock an eyebrow at him, perplexed.

"it's just us that live here."

"a ghost then."

"our house was only built a few years ago," you snark—all bark, not nearly enough bite—just as his everlasting patience snaps. simon reaches over the threshold of the shower stall, curls a meaty hand around your bicep, and yanks you beneath the water. "how can it be haunted?"

"land, maybe," he supplies unhelpfully, pulling you flush against his front, the print of his dick pressed against the cleft of your ass.

simon hikes his chin over your shoulder—heavy grunts and groans against your ear—and uses his bar of soap as an excuse for his hands to roam over your chest and pinch your nipples between his index and thumb. then, pull.

"just admit you were singing wicked, simon."

his pause is so fleeting that you fail to notice—too caught up in the way he methodically massages your sudsy tits together by testing their weight and jiggle in his palms.

angles them directly into the heated stream, lip curling when you inevitably shudder in oversensitivity.

"was the bodies i buried in the garden."

now it's your turn to pause. jolt, in fact. you squint up at him. equal parts confused and suspicious. maybe it's another shit joke.

"what?"

"cornflowers needed fertilizer." he's dead serious. callouses scraping down your torso to cup over your cunt.

"fuckin' hell—bodies?" you're spitting and the corner of his mouth simply quirks up, his middle finger tracing across your seam, splitting your lips apart for him to notch a fingerpad against your slicked hole.

"only four."

"what?! why? who? the fuck is wrong with you?" your grip is a vice around his wrist, tugging his hand away from paradise. almost as fast as it appeared, simon's smile is wiped off his face.

too soon for him to mention the bodies of your shitty first dates, then.

time to backtrack.

"it was m'singing."

"no. no. why are there bodies buried in our garden?"

"defying gravity's my favourite."

[moonssugar]

the sentiment that putting memes in your writing is cringe or whatever is so silly like you think i'd pass up an opportunity for one of my characters to mention the cross and my other two to ask "across from what?"

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.

Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.

There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.

There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.

Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday.

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):

Carrefour

HP

Puma

Sabra

Sodastream

Ahava cosmetics

Israeli fruits and vegetables

Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

FOR PEOPLE IN THE USA: USCPR has developed this toolkit for calls
