6. SOURCING FROM INDIA - WHY &HOW Companies around the globe continuously evaluate supply chains and seek suppliers with competitive prices. China, India and other developing economies are becoming hub for cost efficient products. China has the advantage of having upstream and downstream product chain of bulk products, while India excels in specialty chemicals, APIs, spices, herbs and knowledge based products. For companies seeking spot procurement, cost advantage may be India's primary draw, but companies focusing on good quality & regular supplies finds India a better option. Immense benefit can be derived from quality and manufacturing flexibility offered by Indian producers. Sourcing from India also helps overseas companies in balancing trade risks. While the cost advantages of sourcing and procuring from India is obvious but there are entry barriers. Most companies often delay their entry due to the initial capital and management outlay required to maintain own office and the complex operational environment in developing countries. The best way to handle such situation is to employ the services of a local Indian sourcing company.
