What we source

Products from the Indian clusters that specialise in them

Much of India's manufacturing sits in specialist towns, each with deep experience in one kind of product. For each request we look for a maker in the cluster that suits your product, then quote for delivery to your port.

How we choose a supplier

Cluster first
We start from the towns that specialise in your product, so you compare makers who already produce it every day.
Checks before shortlisting
Suppliers are checked through a video walk-through of the factory and their registration documents, and asked about capacity and export experience. We tell you plainly what we found.
Options to compare
Where possible we quote more than one maker, so you can weigh price, lead time and minimum order.
Samples
You approve a physical sample before production. It becomes the reference for inspection.
