Buyer Meetings

Scheduled in-person and virtual buyer meetings with the right decision-makers — with full follow-up and conversion support.

A 12-month go-to-market plan per country — pricing, channel, partner, regulatory, marketing and milestones.

Frequently Asked

Questions about export market entry.

What ExportConnect actually delivers, what we need from you, and how success is measured.

No. ExportConnect works for D2C brands, premium food brands, beauty & wellness, fashion accessories, home goods, B2B services, SaaS, and traditional manufacturers — any Indian business that can serve an international buyer with the right readiness check and partner setup. We work with businesses at ₹5Cr to ₹500Cr+ in revenue.
A forwarder moves your cargo. An export house buys from you. We sit before all of that — building the demand, the buyers, the partner and the in-market presence. Logistics is one of the last steps, not the first.
No. B2B services, SaaS, industrial and agri-inputs are also in scope. The playbooks are different (institutional buyers vs. distributors vs. retailers), but the methodology is the same: research, demand, partner, scale.
The audit covers the compliance you need by category and country — FDA, USDA, FSSAI-equivalent, EU CE / UKCA, BIS, halal, kosher, organic, ISO, FSC, etc. We don't issue certificates but we work with the right partners who do, and we help you prioritise what to get first based on the markets you're entering.
For most categories, first qualified buyer meetings happen within 8–12 weeks of engagement start, with a signed distributor typically inside 4–6 months. The first shipment is usually 3–4 months after that, depending on category and country.
Everything. Country and buyer research, brand and packaging adaptations, partner database, distributor agreements, meeting playbooks, in-country digital marketing assets and the international lead-generation engine. The export system is yours to run, scale and extend — with optional ongoing support if you want it.
