How We Work
At India2West (I2W), we bring over two decades of global manufacturing and supply chain expertise to the Indian landscape.
Recognizing India's unique challenges and opportunities, we have adapted our proven methodologies to establish robust, efficient, and reliable India sourcing and manufacturing supply chains across the country. As your trusted partner in India sourcing and manufacturing, our mission is to simplify this journey and help global companies succeed.
Our Approach
India's manufacturing ecosystem is diverse and rapidly evolving. Unlike the centralized clusters found in other countries, Indian suppliers are often spread across various regions, each with their own practices and standards. This makes the sourcing and manufacturing process in India distinct and more nuanced. Success here requires more than transactional interactions; it demands local presence, relationship building, and cultural understanding.
Our Pune-based team is strategically positioned to navigate this landscape, offering clients a seamless bridge between global expectations and local execution.
We are flexible in our approach and typically operate within one of the following structures with regard to our services. With a deep understanding of India sourcing and manufacturing, we ensure every project is tailored for success. Get in touch with our team to learn more.
