Product Sourcing from India

We help international buyers discover the right Indian manufacturer for their product, specifications, price point and volume. Whether you're looking for a stock item from a known category or a bespoke product needing custom tooling, our sourcing team maps your brief to the right supplier base.

  • Category-specific sourcing across 11+ industries
  • Spec-driven supplier shortlisting and comparison
  • Sample procurement and evaluation
  • Price benchmarking against market standards
  • Minimum order quantity negotiation

Supplier Identification

India's manufacturing landscape is vast and fragmented — thousands of factories across hundreds of regional clusters, each with different specialities. We know the map. We tap into our network of audited suppliers, plus active outreach to identify new partners, so you never compromise between speed and choice.

  • Deep regional knowledge across all major manufacturing hubs
  • Curated network of pre-screened suppliers
  • Active outreach for niche or new categories
  • Capacity, lead time and pricing assessment
  • Confidentiality and NDA management

Vendor Verification

Before you commit a single order, we do the homework: business registration, financial standing, factory ownership, production capacity, workforce, certifications, references, and on-site audit. You only work with suppliers that have cleared a real bar.

  • Business and ownership verification
  • Physical factory audit and capability assessment
  • Compliance certification check (ISO, BIS, BRC, etc.)
  • Customer reference checks
  • Financial health and stability review

Quality Assurance

Quality issues caught after shipment are 10x more expensive than quality issues caught at the factory. Our QA team enforces your standards during production and before the goods ever leave India — sampling, in-line inspection, pre-shipment inspection, and defect reporting.

  • Sample approval and golden-sample retention
  • In-line and end-of-line inspection
  • Pre-shipment inspection (AQL sampling)
  • Compliance and safety testing coordination
  • Detailed defect reports with photographic evidence

Export Documentation

Cross-border paperwork can stall a shipment for weeks if any detail is wrong. We handle the entire export documentation workflow on your behalf, ensuring compliance with both Indian export regulations and your destination country's import requirements.

  • Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin and country-specific trade documents
  • HS code classification and duty assessment
  • FSSAI, BIS, drug controller, and other regulatory clearances
  • Customs filing and clearance coordination

Freight Forwarding

To deliver every shipment on time and at the right cost, we partner with major air carriers and ocean lines worldwide. Whether your cargo needs the speed of air, the capacity of a full container, or the economy of LCL — we route it through the most cost-effective and reliable lane available.

  • Air, sea (FCL/LCL) and multimodal freight options
  • Direct relationships with major airlines and shipping lines
  • Door-to-door, port-to-port, and door-to-port models
  • Hazardous, oversized and temperature-controlled cargo
  • Cargo insurance and risk coverage

End-to-End Logistics Support

From factory pickup to final delivery, we orchestrate every leg of the journey — domestic Indian trucking, port handling, ocean or air freight, customs clearance at destination, and last-mile delivery to your warehouse. One team, one schedule, one accountability.

  • Domestic Indian transportation and consolidation
  • Port handling, stuffing and container loading
  • Origin and destination customs clearance
  • Last-mile delivery to your warehouse
  • Live tracking and proactive exception alerts
