End-to-end sourcing support for India success

India is developing fast to become a major manufacturing hub. Indian Auto Exports reached $ 23.61 billion, which is the highest in 7 years. India is also the sixth biggest car manufacturer in the world. India is nowadays a modern industrialized country with huge potential. It is projected to be the 3rd largest Economy by 2050. The aerospace, Auto, IT and Pharmaceutical industries and others offer great competitive opportunities for the world.

A chance for European SME’s to consider Indian as a new sourcing hub.

India is still complex to understand for many decision-makers. But sourcing from India can be easy with the right partner.

/ How is an India-wide supplier search conducted?

The supplier search is conducted in two stages—Macro and Micro. The Macro stage involves analyzing and shortlisting industry clusters across India based on criteria like infrastructure, logistics, equipment availability, human resources, cost factors, and political or business environment. The Micro stage then narrows down to selecting the most potential suppliers through detailed evaluation, ensuring the best fit for your manufacturing or sourcing needs.

/What factors are considered when evaluating potential suppliers in India?

Supplier evaluation focuses on key operational and strategic aspects, including industry expertise, ownership and management quality, existing quality systems, monthly or yearly production output, logistics capabilities (like packaging and container loading), and export experience. These criteria help ensure the supplier is reliable, scalable, and aligned with international standards.

/How are quotes obtained from selected potential suppliers in India?

The quote process includes signing NDAs, sharing technical drawings, receiving initial price indications, and conducting video conferences to clarify any special requirements, ensuring transparency and accuracy before moving forward.

/What does the offer phase and project monitoring involve when sourcing from Indian suppliers?

This phase includes coordinating the offer process, obtaining product samples after price discussions, conducting quality checks in India, and sending samples to the home country for evaluation, ensuring both compliance and quality before finalizing decisions.

/What is included in the supply contract and approval process when working with Indian suppliers?

This stage involves quality checks of the first production batch, logistics and delivery date follow-ups, and support for obtaining necessary export/import approvals and licenses, ensuring a smooth transition from agreement to execution.

/How is the delivery phase managed when sourcing from Indian suppliers?

During the delivery phase, we handle order follow-ups, quality checks as per purchaser’s specifications, regular company visits by our team, monitoring of delivery timelines, and export/import support upon request, ensuring timely and compliant shipments.

Find you the Right Partner

With India as a sourcing hotspot, it is no surprise that the country is now one of the top business destinations for European SME’s. There are many benefits to tapping this market, but it can be intimidating to navigate such a vast country and the many cultures of India. That is where we come in—finding the right partner for your business is our speciality by offering full support.

Ensuring the Desired Specifications and Quality

To ensure the desired specifications and quality, the supplier must have the necessary expertise in that industry sector with adequate Quality Systems in Place. Suppliers should have up-to-date and capable Logistics experience (Packaging, Container loading), as well as process technologies in place so they cab produce the material needed.

Get the Best Quotation

Each supplier is different. During the selection stage, a structured way of evaluating the supplier is formed. This should include both qualitative as well as quantitative factors. The Buyer should first select a supplier (with the help of the Local Advisor) who can supply the required product (in quantities and qualities). Once selected, the Seller can then negotiate with the Buyer on price and terms or it will be done by M+V Altios.

Ensure the Delivery Schedules

This involves the buyer receiving goods from the supplier and ensuring they are as mentioned. Factors such as the quantity of the ordered goods and their quality are checked at this step. A well-established Purchase Order process enables seamless movement of raw materials and goods, helps maintain good relationships with suppliers and – most importantly – result in big savings for organizations.
