The global procurement landscape is undergoing a digital revolution. Gone are the days of sifting through mountains of paper bids. Today, companies leverage innovative platforms to simplify public tender processes, saving time and resources.
At the forefront of this revolution stands Tender Impulse, the brainchild of visionary entrepreneurs Mr. Milind Mehta and Mr. Imran R. Sheikh. Founded in 2010, Tender Impulse emerged from a desire to bridge the gap between businesses and valuable government contracts. Recognizing the complexities of navigating the public procurement system, they envisioned a centralized platform that offered transparency, accessibility, and a competitive edge for companies seeking government contracts.
Tender Impulse provides unique public procurement information in the form of RFP’s, RFQ’s, tenders, contracts, pre-qualification notices, contract award notices, prior information notices, etc., all of which make it a one-stop shop for gaining international government business. It is a global database used for acquiring business leads in the form of government tenders and contracts aggregated and bifurcated into different products and services from all countries across the globe.
Tender Impulse goes beyond simply aggregating tenders. Their intuitive search engine utilizes sophisticated algorithms to match businesses with relevant bids, while their user-friendly interface streamlines the application process. But the impact goes deeper: Tender Impulse has fair competition, promotes responsible government spending, and ultimately helps drive economic growth.
Are you intrigued by the minds behind this groundbreaking platform? We’re thrilled to bring you an exclusive interview with Mr. Milind Mehta and Mr. Imran R. Sheikh, featured in our prestigious “The 10 Most Iconic Business Leaders to Watch in 2024” edition. Stay tuned to gain valuable insights and practical advice from these visionary business leaders who are shaping the future of business procurement!

Prime Insights: Brief us on the inception story of the company. What were the initial sparks that ignited the idea for this company? What challenges did you face in those early days, and how did you overcome them?

Mr. Milind Mehta: The journey began back in 2010, fueled by a shared dream of establishing a “self-made” career. I was finishing my Masters in Business Information Systems Management from Middlesex University, London, when the idea sparked during a casual Skype call with my school friend, Imran. Neither of us imagined that a simple conversation would evolve into a platform empowering thousands of companies.
Imran, with his background in public procurement, saw a need for a streamlined system. He challenged me, then a tech student, to develop a SaaS platform. We started by gathering tender information, a far cry from what Tender Impulse is today. Now, we source data from over 1,000 sources in 190+ countries, offering a state-of-the-art procurement digest.
From the beginning, our vision was to “export” services, delivering from India to the world. Today, with over 950 paid subscribers, we serve companies of all sizes, helping them navigate the international bidding landscape. We’ve come a long way, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see Tender Impulse empower businesses around the globe.

Prime Insights: How have you kept a balance between your personal life and your professional one?

Mr. Milind Mehta: Balancing work and personal life can be tough for any entrepreneur. Like most middle-class families, Imran and I juggled financing the business with our passions. While I love to roam around the world and Imran enjoys filmmaking, dedicating time to both wasn’t easy at first. The key to balancing lies in the ability to “plan” and “devote” quality time, be it on the personal or professional front. Thankfully, we’ve found a good rhythm and are grateful for the rewards, both personal and professional. Read more here: Primeinsights
