What We Do

One partner, from “find me a supplier”
to “your container has sailed.”

Sourcing from India shouldn't require flying in, vetting strangers, or managing five different vendors. We are your team on the ground — engineer-led, buyer-minded, accountable end to end.

Supplier Discovery

We identify and shortlist the right manufacturers for your product from our on-ground network — matched to your spec, volume and target price, not whoever answers first.

Factory Audits

Before anything is ordered, we assess the factory in person — social-compliance audit readiness, security standards, capacity and financial stability. No surprises later.

Sampling

Physical and virtual samples, managed and shipped to you for approval — with negotiated development costs and honest timelines before you commit to production.

Quality Control & Inspection

In-production checks and pre-shipment inspections with photographic reports, against your approved sample — so what ships is what you signed off on.

Negotiation & Contracts

We negotiate pricing, terms and timelines directly with the factory — in their language, on your behalf — and help develop contracts that protect you.

Logistics & Export

Customs, documentation and shipping — handled under C-TPAT security discipline until the container leaves the Indian port for yours.

What We Source

Product categories we know inside out.

Decades of hands-on category experience — we understand the product and the factory floor, not just the paperwork.

How It Works

De-risked at every step.

The fear with overseas sourcing is the unknown. Our process removes it — you see evidence at every gate before money moves to the next stage.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need

    Send a spec, a sample, a drawing or just an idea. We'll respond with honest feasibility, indicative pricing and a sourcing plan — free.

  2. 02

    We shortlist vetted factories

    From our network, we match your product to manufacturers with proven capability at your volume and quality level.

  3. 03

    Samples & factory audit

    You approve physical or virtual samples. In parallel we audit the factory — social compliance, security, capacity — before a single order is placed.

  4. 04

    Production with independent QC

    We inspect during production and before shipment, against your approved sample, and send you photographic inspection reports.

  5. 05

    Export, customs & delivery

    Documentation, customs and C-TPAT-secure handling to the Indian port — and your container is on its way to you.

Quality & Compliance

We say no to factories
so you never have to.

Most sourcing failures happen before the first order — at the factory gate. We associate with a manufacturer only after a complete assessment that they meet social-audit requirements and can pass C-TPAT security requirements, without compromise, until the container arrives at the Indian port.

  • Social-compliance audit readiness verified before engagement
  • C-TPAT supply-chain security discipline, factory to port
  • Approved-sample quality gates — nothing ships unchecked
  • Independent inspection reports with photos, for every shipment
  • Goods found defective on arrival are taken back and a refund is arranged

Leadership

Sairam Ramjidas

Founder & Principal — Mechanical Engineer, PG in International Trade (IIFT, Delhi)

For over 27 years, Sairam has identified and developed manufacturing sources across India for buyers in the USA, Canada and Europe — working with major corporates that service some of the world's largest retail chains across North America and Europe.

That experience spans hand tools to leather goods to kitchenware — and, more importantly, both sides of the deal: what a factory can really deliver, and what a retail buyer actually needs on the shelf.

“Complete satisfaction and continuous support to the customer — that has been the standard for 27 years, and it doesn't change.”

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us.

How do we start working with you?

Send us your product spec, a reference sample, or even a photo of what you're looking for. We come back with feasibility, indicative pricing and a sourcing plan — with no obligation.

How do samples work?

We arrange physical or virtual samples from shortlisted factories and manage the approval loop with you. Sample and courier costs are agreed transparently up front, before development starts.

How do you guarantee quality?

Production is checked against your approved “golden sample.” We inspect during production and again before shipment, and you receive photographic inspection reports before the container leaves.

What if goods arrive defective?

If goods are found defective on arrival, we take them back and arrange a refund.

What are typical lead times?

It varies by product and volume — typically a few weeks for sampling, then 120 days from confirmed order to shipment for a first order and 90 days for repeat orders. We give you a realistic timeline in writing before you commit.

What is your minimum order?

Typically one 20ft container load per order, with packaging made to your requirements.

Do you handle shipping and customs?

Yes, on the Indian side: export documentation, export customs clearance and shipping coordination, handled under C-TPAT security discipline up to the Indian port. We quote FOB India. Import clearance in your country is done by your customs broker; we send them the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading in good time.

Which markets do you export to?

Primarily the United States, Canada and Europe — markets we have worked with for over two decades and whose retail compliance requirements we know well. Buyers in Mexico and Latin America are equally welcome: we quote FOB India for any destination port.
