Merchant sourcing house · India export context

One partner between India’s suppliers and your distribution business.

Zikhara is a merchant sourcing house built to connect distributor requirements with specialist suppliers in India through one commercial relationship. Product, quality, documentation and delivery requirements are confirmed for each RFQ.

What we are

A sourcing house, not a factory.

The merchant model is deliberate: it is designed to give a buyer access to independent product specialists without presenting Zikhara as the production line.

The intended control layer coordinates the sourcing brief, order-specific quality requirements, documentation scope and buyer communication through one commercial relationship. Supplier selection and every operational arrangement remain subject to the requirements and evidence available for the order.

01

Define the requirement

Start with the product, destination, volume and commercial brief.

02

Coordinate the scope

Set order-specific sourcing, quality and documentation requirements.

03

Keep one relationship

Maintain one commercial interface while the fulfilment route is confirmed.

Primary product families

Three focused families for distributor briefs.

High-level category scope is shown here. Materials, ratings, testing and other product specifications are confirmed against evidence for the offered SKU.

01

Cable glands

Standard, non-Ex cable-gland requirements for electrical distribution and panel-building applications.

02

Architectural / builders’ hardware

Handles, hinges and fittings for architectural, builders’ hardware and fit-out schedules.

03

Industrial brass fittings

Brass-fitting requirements for non-potable industrial services, equipment and MEP distribution.

The intended control model

Five stages, scoped order by order.

This is the process Zikhara is designed to coordinate. It is not evidence that every supplier, inspection or consolidation arrangement is already operational.

01

Prequalify

Review available supplier and product evidence against the buyer brief before a source is selected.

02

Reference / sample standard

Agree an order-specific reference or sample basis where the product and buyer requirement call for one.

03

Inspection checkpoints

Define appropriate checkpoints and evidence for the order; the parties and method are confirmed case by case.

04

Consolidation / shipment preparation

Assess consolidation and packing options where supplier, order and shipment conditions permit them.

05

Export / origin documentation

Scope the required shipment and origin documents after classification, eligibility and responsibilities are confirmed.

Clear scope before proof

Trust starts with saying exactly what the model is.
