Founder · Source Bridge Exim
I founded Source Bridge Exim to make importing from China straightforward for businesses across India. We source from trusted manufacturers, handle procurement from first enquiry through to delivery, and develop our own portfolio of imported products for wholesale distribution and retail through e-commerce marketplaces.
My background in aviation, logistics, supply chain and international trade is the foundation the company is built on: global sourcing, freight management, supplier development and cross-border trade. It shapes how we work — identifying high-potential products, building reliable supply chains, and creating value through efficient procurement and market-driven product selection.
