Our mission
India has over 63 million MSMEs producing some of the world's finest textiles, spices, generic pharmaceuticals, machinery, engineering goods, chemicals and handicrafts. Yet fewer than 3% of them ever reach an international buyer because the export journey is too fragmented — buyer discovery, KYC, sample logistics, documentation, LC, shipping and dispute resolution are all handled by different intermediaries. DirectGro exists to compress that entire journey into one verified marketplace so any serious Indian manufacturer can compete globally on quality, not on connections.
What makes DirectGro different
Unlike traditional B2B directories, DirectGro combines a verified-supplier badge system, live buyer RFQs from real importers, category-specific pricing intelligence, an in-house export concierge for documentation and logistics, and transparent membership pricing with GST invoicing through Razorpay. We do not take commissions on trade. Suppliers keep 100% of the margin, and buyers pay nothing to source, negotiate or transact.
Categories we serve
Agriculture & agri-processing (rice, spices, pulses, tea, coffee, oilseeds, fresh produce), textiles & apparel (cotton, denim, home textiles, garments), pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals (APIs, generics, ayurvedic, veterinary), chemicals & petrochemicals, engineering goods (auto components, hand tools, castings, machinery), electrical & electronics, plastics & packaging, leather & footwear, handicrafts & home décor, gems & jewellery, minerals & metals, and processed food. Every listing is vetted for GST, IEC and factory capability before it goes live.
Leadership & company
DirectGro is led by Sachin Yadav, Founder & CEO — an Indian entrepreneur with a background in B2B marketplace development, growth strategy, SEO, performance marketing and business automation. He founded the company in July 2020 under DIRECTGRO INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, headquartered in New Delhi. Since inception the platform has onboarded 12,400+ verified suppliers, facilitated buyer connections across 42 countries and processed over ₹1.2 billion in cumulative annualised trade volume through its member ecosystem.
Trust, verification & compliance
Every seller on DirectGro is verified against GSTIN, IEC (Import-Export Code), PAN and business registration before receiving the Verified Supplier badge. Buyer requirements are screened for spam, dropshipping resell attempts, and non-serious inquiries so exporters only spend time on real opportunities. All payments run through Razorpay with full GST-compliant invoicing and ITC eligibility for GST-registered businesses.
