What it measures

A clear view of your sourcing operation.

The India Sourcing Health Check is for international brands, retailers, importers and e-commerce companies sourcing from India — or planning to. In about three minutes it benchmarks eight areas of your sourcing operation and shows where reliability, quality or control could be strengthened.

It is a self-assessment, not an audit. Your answers stay on your device unless you choose to share them, and the results are descriptive guidance — not claims about your business.

Questions

About the health check

What is an India sourcing health check?

A short self-assessment that benchmarks how mature your current India sourcing operation is across supplier network, factory verification, product development, quality control, production control, communication, commercial control and supply-chain resilience.

How does the assessment work?

You answer ten questions, one per screen. Each answer reflects a level of sourcing maturity. Your responses are combined into an overall result and a per-area breakdown with practical guidance.

How long does it take?

About three minutes. It is free and there is no obligation — you see your full results before being asked for any contact details.

What areas does it evaluate?

Eight areas: supplier network, factory verification, product development, quality control, production and delivery control, supplier communication, commercial control and supply-chain resilience.

Can I source from India without visiting factories?

Yes. Many buyers run their first project remotely with a buyer-side partner who verifies factories, manages sampling and inspects quality on the ground on their behalf.

How can Sourcing India help?

Sourcing India works for the buyer — identifying and verifying factories, developing products, and managing production and quality control across India, backed by 20+ years of sourcing experience and a 500+ verified factory network.

What is factory verification?

Confirming a supplier's legal entity, export credentials, real production capability, quality systems and whether work is subcontracted — before an order is placed.

How does quality control work in India?

Effective quality control uses several checkpoints — factory audit, pre-production, during-production, pre-shipment and loading — so issues are caught while they can still be corrected, not after shipment.
