You are thinking about India. You need someone already there.

Every year thousands of international companies consider India — for sourcing, for manufacturing, for back-office operations, for market entry. Most of them hit the same wall.

They cannot find one trustworthy, English-speaking person on the ground who will do what they say they will do, communicate clearly, and actually understand how business works here.

That is exactly what Domshark Raqam provides.

We are based in Kerala, India. We help international companies from Australia, the UK, the US, the GCC and beyond navigate India — from the first conversation about whether India makes sense, to vendor selection, to operational setup, to ongoing management.

Not a large consulting firm. Not a generalist BPO. One focused team with deep operational experience and direct founder involvement on every engagement.

Why international companies are looking at India right now

The global sourcing landscape is shifting faster than at any point in the last 30 years. US tariffs on Chinese goods now reach 22% to over 60% on many categories. Companies that built their supply chains around China are urgently looking for alternatives.

India has emerged as the most credible alternative for a growing number of categories — textiles and garments, pharmaceuticals, engineering components, electronics assembly, software and back-office services, chemicals and specialty materials.

The EU-India Free Trade Agreement signed in January 2026 has opened new trade corridors for European companies. The US-India trade relationship is strengthening. Australia and India have had a free trade agreement — the AI-ECTA — since 2023.

The opportunity in India is real. The challenge is always the same — finding someone on the ground you can actually trust.

What we do

Vendor identification and verification We find Indian manufacturers, suppliers and service providers that match your specifications. We visit facilities, verify capabilities, check compliance, assess quality systems and give you an honest assessment before you commit to anything. You get eyes on the ground without the cost of sending your own team.

Market entry support If you are considering establishing a presence in India — whether a sourcing office, a liaison office, a GCC or a back-office operation — we help you navigate the practical realities. Location selection, regulatory requirements, initial setup coordination, local partner identification.

Supplier relationship management Once you have identified your Indian suppliers or partners, managing those relationships from overseas is genuinely difficult. Communication gaps, cultural differences, quality consistency, delivery reliability — these are the friction points that kill otherwise good sourcing decisions. We manage those relationships on your behalf as your India representative.

Back-office operations setup India remains one of the world’s strongest locations for English-speaking back-office operations — finance, customer service, logistics coordination, data management, compliance support. We help international companies set up and manage these functions in India without the complexity and cost of doing it entirely alone.

Ongoing India operations desk For companies that already have India operations but need reliable local support — we act as your India operations desk. Coordination, communication, problem-solving, vendor management and reporting. Available whenever you need us, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time India-based employee.

Tariff and trade intelligence We bring something most India operations consultants do not have — deep knowledge of international tariff dynamics. We understand exactly what importing from India costs your buyers in the US, UK, Australia and EU. This means we can help you not just find Indian suppliers but position the cost advantage correctly for your overseas procurement teams.

Who we work with

International companies at any stage of their India journey.

Companies that have never sourced from India and are evaluating it seriously for the first time in the context of China tariff pressures.

Companies that have had bad experiences with Indian suppliers — unreliable delivery, quality inconsistency, communication breakdowns — and want a more managed approach.

Companies that are already in India and need reliable local operational support without the overhead of a full local team.

Companies that want to set up a back-office or GCC operation in India and need someone to help navigate the practical steps.

You do not need a large firm. You need the right person.

When you work with Domshark Raqam you work directly with the founder — Saiju Siddeeq — on every engagement. Not delegated to a junior resource. Not managed through layers of account management. Direct.

We are based in Kerala — one of India’s most educated, English-proficient and business-friendly states. We understand India from the inside and we understand international business from years of working with and for global companies.

We are not the most expensive option. We are not the cheapest. We are the most accessible, most responsive and most honest option for international companies who need real India expertise without enterprise pricing.

The conversation costs nothing

If you are thinking about India — for sourcing, for operations, for market entry, for anything — the most useful first step is a 20-minute conversation with someone who is already here.

No pitch. No proposal. Just a straight conversation about what you are trying to do and whether India makes sense for it.
