India Index | Making Sourcing From India Easy

Founded by Samir N. Kapadia, India Index is a B2B supply chain marketplace that makes sourcing from India easy. It helps American buyers and Indian suppliers search, filter, and vet supply chain partners through a seamless and cost-effective process.

The cloud-based B2B supply chain marketplace is used by startups and Fortune 500s alike, to search and evaluate supply chain partners, highlight their company values, and optimize trade relationships to be more profitable.

Speaking about the development, Samir N. Kapadia, Founder and CEO of India Index, said, 

“With India Index, we are committed to increasing visibility, connectivity, and commercial activity between U.S. buyers and Indian suppliers. With the funds, we are building capacities to optimize the platform, going beyond search, evaluation, document review, and workflow management solutions. 

As per Samir, India Index is a digital infrastructure company facilitating trade between the world and India at scale. The new tools offered by the platform will allow U.S. buyers to conduct transaction and logistics services on the platform, completing the supply chain journey all in one place, added Samir.
