Indian Exporters Found Easily Online!
Whether you're looking for Indian-made handicrafts or high-tech electronics, there are plenty of Indian exports available to satisfy your every need. You just have to know where to look!
In this post we'll discuss how to find and connect with the best export companies in India and what distinguishes the good ones from the not-so-great. We'll also mention some websites that facilitate easy scrolling through a long list of export companies in India so you can find exactly what you want. Finally, we'll explore whether it's cheaper to buy from China or India, as well as why outsourcing might be a better option for your business than manufacturing domestically.
1. Where to find Indian exporters
It's relatively easy to find out which companies exported in the last year. For many industries, you can visit the South Asian Census – a large report at http://www.statpak.com/SAEC2012/. If you're looking for information on the major sectors of India, like IT and pharmaceuticals, check out http://www.porescholarlyreports.com/. For general export statistics on all parts of India, visit http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Uploads/SASNAS_Exports_Showcase2010_Databook1-4Nov13_v1003101431.pdf.
If you want to get more specific, check out companies that deal in your product area, such as Indian jewelry exporters and Indian food exporters. For example, if you're looking for a luxury car exporter in India – not just a vehicle manufacturer but someone who'll sell you finished cars – you can use the following search string on Google: "luxury car exporter india".
2. What to look for in good exporters
You'll see a handful of results pop up. The best way to identify top Indian export companies is simply to see how long they've been in business. Companies that have been around for forty-plus years are probably here to stay and would be safe choices.
Some international trade forums, such as Global Trade Magazine, also provide ratings for Indian exporters. The United States Department of Commerce also provides a list of preferred exporters. These are three reliable indicators that you have found a good export company in India.
3. How to find the best Indian exporters
If you search for "Indian exports" on Google, you'll get a load of results in point form – but the difficulty with this type of exercise is that you often don't know what's good and what isn't. The answer is to make your own list of Indian export companies and sort them by reputation. Go to directories like CompanySnapshot (http://www.companysnapshotuk.co.uk/directory/India-and-Pakistan.aspx) and Global Trade Mag (http://www.globaltrademag.com/gltm_directory/Countries_by_Business-India/Export_Companies) and use their search tools to find both the most recent exporters in your area of interest as well as thousands of companies that have gone out of business over the last thirty years.
4. Picking from the list
Now, it might be a good idea to forget about whom you've heard about and go straight for the ones that are still in business (for at least ten years). Although this might seem like a lot of work, it's actually far too easy. Once you've found three companies you like best, it's time to grab your favorite tea towel and start browsing the web.
If you're trying to find one specific kind of item, such as Bollywood movies on DVD or high-end watches for men, there are sites that will help you narrow down the businesses you can buy – such as http://www.exportbuys.com/, http://www.exportbuysindia.com/ or http://www.tradeindiamart.com/.
If you're looking for a particular type of services, such as accountants or lawyers, there's websites that will help you find the best Indian exporters. For example, if you're looking for an accountant or a lawyer in India, try http://www.lawyersindia.com/ and http://www.accountantsindia.com/. There are also sites like http://www.natindianexporters.com/ and http://www.natinfocusindia.com/ that provide similar information.
5. Why outsource?
It's not always cheaper to buy from China or even India; in fact, depending on your needs and product, it might be a better option for you to replace domestic production with imported goods. For example, if you're looking to manufacture high-tech electronics from the United States, outsourcing the production of microchips and circuit boards to another country might make sense.
Conclusion
Buying Indian-made goods is a great way to save money and get quality at the same time. However, if you're trying to find specific goods or services in India, it's better not to just search for "India exports" – that way you can get the best deal on a more focused product.
In the end, it all comes down to research and comparison. CompanySnapshot, Global Trade Magazine and Trade India Mart are three of the best sites for comparing goods from different export companies in India. By looking at reviews from other buyers and making your own list of Indian exporters, you'll be able to see which ones suit your needs before you even consider buying.
