Why use a sourcing agent

The cost of getting India wrong is bigger than our fee

Buying direct from India looks cheap on Alibaba. The real cost shows up in rejected cargo, mis-declared HS codes, unpaid GST refunds and suppliers who vanish after a 30% advance. Our job is to make sure none of that happens to you.

Lower landed cost

Direct factory pricing, consolidated freight and GST refund handling typically save 15–30% versus buying through trading houses.

Risk eliminated

We verify GST, IEC, factory address and bank details before any payment. Funds held in escrow until pre-shipment inspection clears.

On-ground team

Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and English-speaking staff visit factories in person — no WhatsApp middlemen, no surprises.

Single point of contact

One PO, one invoice, one shipment — even when 12 suppliers across 5 states are involved.

Export compliance handled

COO, Phytosanitary, Fumigation, FSSAI, BIS, CE, REACH — we arrange every certificate your customs needs.

Transparent fees

Flat 5–8% commission on FOB value, or fixed retainer for ongoing programs. No hidden markups on factory invoices.

How we work

A 6-step sourcing method, refined over 12+ years

Every program runs through the same checklist — whether you're importing one container of turmeric or fifty containers of furniture.

01

Brief & supplier shortlist

Share your specs, target price and quantity. Within 5 working days we send 3–6 vetted suppliers with factory profiles, capacity, certifications and indicative FOB quotes.

02

Factory audit & samples

Physical visit to shortlisted factories. We verify machinery, workforce, ISO/BSCI/SEDEX status and pull pre-production samples for your approval.

03

Negotiation & PO

We negotiate price, MOQ, payment terms (LC/TT) and delivery. Bilingual PO issued with full technical annexure and inspection criteria.

04

In-line & pre-shipment QC

AQL 2.5 inspection at 20%, 60% and 100% production. Photo + video report within 24 hours of each visit. Shipment blocked if defects exceed tolerance.

05

Consolidation & shipping

Multi-supplier cargo consolidated at our Palakol warehouse. Loaded into FCL/LCL containers with export packing, fumigation and full document set.

06

Delivery & after-sales

Door-to-door tracking, DDP options, claims handling and re-order replenishment. Your dedicated account manager stays the same across every shipment.

Certifications, audits & compliance

Verified credentials you can trust

Every certificate and audit report we cite is cross-checked against the issuing body's database. We share originals — not photocopies — with every buyer before the first PO.
