Introduction: Let’s Get Real First
I’ve been where you are. You want to start exporting from India, you’ve maybe heard of sites like Alibaba or Indiamart—but you don’t know where real buyers come from. Right? You’re not alone.
When I started looking into exports, I thought I needed a big company, a perfect office, or 10 years of experience. But reality is different—you just need the right information, the right mindset, and the right approach.
This guide is 100% beginner-friendly. I’ve researched this through real sources, industry experts, and personal trials. Let’s go step-by-step.
---
1. Understand Your Product First (Don't Skip This)
Before finding buyers, you must be clear what you're selling. Ask yourself:
What is my product exactly?
Is it export-worthy?
Is there international demand?
What HS Code does it fall under?
👉 Example: If you are exporting Senna leaves, search on Google:
“Senna leaves HS code India export demand”
This will help you understand which country imports it the most, what quality they want, and how the packaging should be.

2. Build a Powerful Online Identity (Buyers Will Google You)
If someone is going to import from you, they will definitely search your business online. So even if you’re new, show up professionally.
Here’s what you need:
✅ A simple 1-page website with your product photos, company name, email, and WhatsApp
✅ A LinkedIn profile (with ‘Export Specialist in [Product]’ written clearly)
✅ A Google Business listing (free)
✅ A professional email ID – no Gmail or Yahoo. Use something like contact@yourcompany.com
> Tools you can use:
Website: Hostinger, Wix

🌐 A. B2B Marketplaces (Goldmine for Beginners)
Alibaba.com – Make a free seller account, optimize your product listing.
