India

Selling in India.
Without building a company to do it.

India has 1.4 billion people and enough paperwork to stop most brands before their first shipment ever leaves. We handle that part: we act as the importer, sort the GST and the product approvals, store the goods and get them selling, under your brand.

What we handle

01: Rules & paperwork

  • Being the importer of record, and GST registration
  • BIS, CDSCO and EPR approvals
  • Labels and weights-and-measures rules
  • FEMA rules and transfer pricing

02: Where it sells

  • Your own store, on your own domain
  • Marketplaces: Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Tata Cliq
  • Quick delivery apps: Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart
  • Premium wholesale and physical shops

03: Storage & delivery

  • Bonded and GST warehouses
  • Delivery across India
  • Returns and quality checks
  • Planning stock so you don't run out

A realistic first quarter

From first call to first order.

Weeks 1 to 2

Work out the route

We classify the products, check the duties, list the approvals you need, pick the channels and show you what it really costs to land.

Weeks 3 to 6

Paperwork

Registrations and approvals started, labels corrected, import route fixed.

Weeks 7 to 10

First stock arrives

Goods imported and into the warehouse. Product pages, prices and listings ready.

Weeks 11 to 13

Selling

Channels switched on, orders coming in, weekly reporting to you.

A rough guide. Approvals take longer for some product types. Once we have seen your range we give you a plan with real dates.

Why brands use BRDG

You don't need a company in India

You can be selling while you are still deciding whether to set one up.

One team, not five suppliers

Paperwork, warehouse, selling and customer handling all sit with us.

Seller set-ups that follow the rules

Structures built to fit Indian rules for foreign-owned brands, channel by channel.

Or run it yourself

Use what we have built and keep your own team in charge, give us the lot, or split it.
