Exporters India

What Exporters India does

ExportersIndia is India's largest B2B online marketplace, established in 1997 and operated by Weblink.In Pvt. Ltd. from New Delhi. The platform connects Indian manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers with domestic and international buyers across 40+ product categories spanning agriculture, apparel, chemicals, industrial machinery, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. It claims a catalog of over 2 crore product and service listings, 20 lakh+ registered suppliers, 50 lakh+ verified buyers, and 600,000+ monthly business inquiries, with city-specific supplier directories across major Indian metros and country-specific portals targeting import markets including USA, UAE, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Australia.

The platform is built on a self-serve product-led growth model: suppliers register free, create company profiles, and list products; buyers post buy requirements and contact sellers directly. Core technology components include web and native iOS/Android applications, search and filtering, the proprietary V-TRUST verification certificate for supplier authentication, a buyer inquiry management system with SMS, email, and WhatsApp alerts, real-time chat, catalog grouping tools, and a buy lead database. Content surfaces include SEO-optimized category pages, B2B Web Stories, and an active blog supporting organic acquisition.

ExportersIndia monetizes via a freemium model. Free registration supports the long tail of suppliers; paid membership tiers (Platinum Plus, Platinum, basic) unlock priority listing, enhanced visibility, V-TRUST certification, custom domain microsites, and buy lead database access. Premium banner advertising provides an additional monetization layer. In May 2026, the platform received regulatory notices from India's Central Consumer Protection Authority regarding unauthorized online listings of hazardous chemicals, leading to delisting of certain products.
