Collabex exists because small brands and small creators in India are underserved by the existing influencer marketing industry.
Most platforms are built for macro-influencers and enterprise brands. The tools, pricing, and workflows assume large budgets, agency support, and established audiences. That leaves out a huge part of India's creator economy - the micro creators with 1k+ genuinely engaged followers, and the small D2C beauty brands trying to build awareness without a Rs 5 lakh agency retainer.
Collabex is a free, no-commission Instagram collaboration marketplace. Brands post collab opportunities. Creators browse and apply to the ones that fit their audience. Both sides verify through Instagram - no fake profiles, no bot accounts.
After every collaboration, both sides leave a review. That review trail creates accountability. Ghosting, missed payments, and poor-quality deliveries get surfaced. Good partners build reputation over time.
