CHIKETA ASSISTS YOU WITH YOUR INDIA SOURCING OR MARKETING AND SALES.
INDIA SOURCING
“Using our unique approach, Chiketa’s comprehensive sourcing campaigns reach qualified companies, whether they are actively, passively or currently not looking for an order.
To ensure that your suppliers are selected from a robust database that is deep and diverse, we reach into the interiors of India, find qualify and then introduce you to the suppliers who are not necessarily found on the web.
The alternatives are to resort to buying agents who may or may not be specialized in the products sourced. They will most likely also outsource the quality and project management aspects.
When it comes to sourcing from India, Chiketa stands apart from other potential sources.
Chiketa has the resources to specialize in the area of quality control and project monitoring.”
INDIA SALES
“Our knowledge and experience in India as well as our exposure to US and Western cultures allows us to offer effective services in sales and marketing in India.
The effects of globalization in India has resulted in a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power. McKinsey (The ‘Bird of Gold’: The Rise of India’s Consumer Market) projects India as becoming the 5th largest consumer economy by 2025 (up from the current level of 12th place) with almost 600 million middle class consumers. US companies already in India are reaping the rewards of this phenomenon.
Chiketa can promote your Company or Product through several levels of support for marketing in India.”
