Indian exporters and manufacturers face a fundamental challenge when expanding into international markets: finding and connecting with genuine, verified buyers across the globe.
The reality we observed:
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) spent months researching potential buyers through trade shows, directories, and word-of-mouth referrals. Even after identifying prospects, they struggled to verify legitimacy—were these real companies? Did they actually import the products being offered? What was their payment history?
Contact lists available in the market were generic, outdated, and lacked crucial business intelligence. Exporters wasted time and resources reaching out to companies that had no genuine interest or capacity to import. Email campaigns went to wrong contacts, outdated addresses, or companies that never responded.
Due diligence on international buyers was time-consuming and expensive. Background checks, credit verification, and trade history analysis required engaging multiple agencies. By the time verification completed, opportunities had often passed.
The manual outreach process was inefficient. Crafting personalized emails to hundreds of prospects, tracking responses, and following up consumed valuable time that exporters needed for production and quality management.
Most critically: Indian exporters lacked a centralized platform that combined trade intelligence, buyer verification, and automated outreach—forcing them to piece together solutions from multiple sources.
We identified this gap as both a market opportunity and a national priority. India’s export potential was constrained not by product quality or pricing, but by market access and buyer connection challenges.
We envisioned a platform specifically designed for the Indian export ecosystem—understanding the unique challenges, regulatory environment, and business practices relevant to Indian manufacturers and exporters.
Our vision: Empower Indian exporters with enterprise-grade trade intelligence and automation tools previously available only to large corporations, democratizing access to global markets.
Building Export Intelligence Platform required solving complex technical, data, and business challenges over 18 months of intensive development.
We conducted extensive field research with Indian exporters across multiple sectors.
What we learned:
Exporters in textiles, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, engineering goods, and handicrafts all faced similar challenges despite different product categories. They needed more than contact information—they needed actionable intelligence about buyer behavior, import patterns, and business credibility.
Trust was paramount. Exporters had lost money to fraudulent buyers and non-payment situations. Any platform needed robust verification mechanisms to prevent such incidents.
Existing solutions were either too expensive for SMEs, too generic for specific industries, or lacked the depth of information needed for confident decision-making.
Requirements we defined:
We designed a robust technical foundation capable of handling massive datasets and complex analytics.
Data Acquisition & Processing Pipeline
Building the trade intelligence backbone required accessing, aggregating, and normalizing data from multiple sources:
Global Trade Records:
We established data partnerships and developed scraping infrastructure to collect shipment records from customs databases across 150+ countries. This included bills of lading, import declarations, and shipping manifests.
Data Normalization:
Trade data comes in hundreds of formats, languages, and classification systems. We built ML models to standardize product descriptions, harmonize HS codes, normalize company names, and geo-tag locations.
Real-Time Processing:
Our ETL pipeline processes millions of trade records daily, updating buyer profiles and import patterns in near real-time. We architected this for horizontal scalability as data volume grows.
Business Intelligence Layer
We developed proprietary algorithms analyzing trade data to generate actionable insights:
Import Pattern Analysis:
Machine learning models identify active importers, predict import frequency, detect seasonal trends, and forecast upcoming purchase cycles.
Buyer Scoring:
Our algorithms evaluate buyer quality based on import volume consistency, supplier diversity, business longevity, payment reliability indicators, and market reputation signals.
Authenticity Verification:
We integrated multiple data sources to verify company legitimacy: business registration databases, corporate credit ratings, digital footprint analysis, trade license validations, and cross-reference with known fraud databases.
Product Matching Engine:
NLP algorithms match exporter products with relevant buyers by analyzing product descriptions, HS code classifications, past import records, and industry categorizations.
Manual email outreach was the biggest time drain for exporters. We built an intelligent automation layer that maintained personalization while scaling outreach.
Smart Email Generation
Our AI engine creates contextually relevant, personalized emails:
Dynamic Content Generation:
System analyzes buyer profile, import history, and industry context to generate tailored email content. Templates adapt based on buyer sophistication, regional preferences, and communication patterns that historically yield responses.
Multi-Language Support:
Email generation supports major business languages, adapting tone and formality based on cultural norms of the target region.
Compliance Engine:
Built-in checks ensure emails comply with international anti-spam regulations (CAN-SPAM, GDPR), include proper opt-out mechanisms, and maintain sender reputation.
Intelligent Sending & Tracking
Optimal Timing:
ML models determine best send times based on recipient time zones, industry patterns, and historical engagement data.
Deliverability Optimization:
We implemented sophisticated sending infrastructure with domain authentication, IP warming, and reputation monitoring to maximize inbox placement.
Response Tracking:
Platform tracks opens, clicks, replies, and engagement patterns, feeding this data back into ML models to improve future outreach.
Follow-Up Automation:
Smart workflows trigger appropriate follow-ups based on engagement signals, automatically adjusting timing and messaging.
We designed an intuitive interface for users with varying technical sophistication.
Search & Discovery Interface
Exporters can search by product name, HS code, region, or company to discover potential buyers. Filters enable refinement by import volume, recency, country, and buyer quality score.
Buyer Profile Pages
Each buyer profile displays comprehensive intelligence:
Email Campaign Manager
Centralized hub for managing outreach campaigns with template libraries, batch sending capabilities, A/B testing functionality, performance analytics, and response management.
Opportunity Pipeline
CRM-like interface tracking prospects through stages: identified, contacted, responded, negotiating, converted, allowing exporters to manage entire sales pipeline from discovery to deal closure.
We conducted extensive beta testing with select exporters across industries.
Early adopter feedback drove significant refinements:
Data Accuracy Improvements:
Initial buyer verification had false positives. We added additional data sources and refined algorithms to achieve 95%+ accuracy.
UI Simplification:
Early interface was feature-rich but overwhelming. We simplified navigation and created guided workflows for common tasks.
Email Template Enhancement:
Beta users requested more industry-specific templates. We expanded library and added customization capabilities.
Performance Optimization:
Search and data loading speeds were optimized through database indexing, caching strategies, and query optimization.
Integration Capabilities:
Added export functionality to integrate with existing CRM systems and spreadsheet workflows.
Export Intelligence Platform incorporates several proprietary innovations that differentiate it from generic contact databases.
Our ML models don’t just show past imports—they predict future buying behavior. By analyzing seasonality, growth trends, supplier changes, and market indicators, we identify buyers likely to place orders in coming weeks.
We developed a multi-factor authentication system assigning each buyer a trust score based on business registration verification, trade history consistency, digital presence analysis, payment track record, and cross-reference validation. This proprietary algorithm dramatically reduces fraud risk.
Unlike template-based systems, our NLP engine understands context—buyer’s industry, import sophistication, regional business culture, and previous engagement history—generating truly personalized outreach at scale.
Interactive dashboards visualize global trade flows, helping exporters understand market dynamics, identify emerging opportunities, and make strategic decisions about market entry.
Built from the ground up with international trade regulations and data privacy laws in mind, ensuring exporters operate within legal frameworks across jurisdictions.

Case Example 2: Pharmaceutical API Manufacturer
A pharmaceutical company needed to expand into emerging markets but lacked buyer contacts and market intelligence.
Challenge:
Stringent regulatory requirements meant they needed buyers with proper import licenses and quality certifications. Generic databases couldn’t verify these credentials.
Solution:
Our verification layer included pharmaceutical-specific checks: import license validation, WHO GMP certification, regulatory compliance history, and quality audit track record.
Result:
Identified 45 verified pharmaceutical importers across Africa and Southeast Asia. Established partnerships with 8 distributors in 6 months. Entered three new markets with confidence in buyer legitimacy.
Case Example 3: Handicraft Exporter Collective
A cooperative of artisan handicraft exporters needed to compete with larger organizations lacking digital capabilities.
Before:
Manual exhibition participation and agent-based selling. Limited direct buyer relationships. Low margins due to intermediaries.
With Platform:
Accessed same trade intelligence as larger competitors. Direct outreach to boutique retailers and e-commerce platforms globally. Built direct buyer relationships, eliminating intermediaries. Margins improved by 40% through direct sales.
Data Quality at Scale
Trade data from global sources varied wildly in quality, format, and completeness. Building robust normalization required extensive custom logic and ML model training.
Language & Cultural Nuances
Email communication norms differ dramatically across cultures. We worked with international business consultants to train AI models on appropriate tone, formality, and messaging for different regions.
Deliverability & Sender Reputation
Email automation at scale risks being flagged as spam. We invested heavily in infrastructure, authentication protocols, and gradual IP warming to maintain high deliverability rates.
Real-Time Data Processing
Processing millions of daily trade records while maintaining fast search and analysis required significant infrastructure optimization and architectural refinement.
Verification Without False Rejections
Early authenticity algorithms were overly conservative, rejecting legitimate buyers. We refined models through supervised learning with human feedback to balance security and opportunity.
