Due Diligence Standard

Our Supplier Verification Standard

We use the word ‘verified’ carefully, because most platforms do not. Here is exactly what each tier means.

Tier 1: Identified

Basic Public Record Discovery

Suppliers at this level have been identified through public registry records, trade directory lists, or initial buyer inquiries.

Included Checks:

Public business record discovery
Basic operational domain & contact verification

Tier 2: Screened

Compliance & Sanctions Screened

Every supplier we present to a global buyer undergoing procurement negotiation is screened against official government databases, tax registries, and international sanction lists.

Verification Checks Conducted:

MCA Registration (Ministry of Corporate Affairs corporate standing check)

GSTIN Active Status (Goods & Services Tax active return filing history)

IEC Verification (Importer Exporter Code validation with DGFT)

DGFT Denied Entity List (Screened against blacklisted exporter lists)

Udyam & RCMC Validation (MSME classification & Export Promotion Council membership)

Sanctions & PEP Screening (Global sanctions and adverse media database checks)

Highest Standard

Tier 3: Verified

Physically Audited & Certificate Verified at Source

Full-tier verification requiring on-site audit, direct certificate validation with issuing bodies, and written legal declarations.

Source Certificate Verification: ISO, FSSAI, BIS, and GMP certificates are independently verified directly with the issuing accreditation body or certification database.

Physical / On-Site Audit: Physical inspection of manufacturing facilities, production machinery, storage conditions, and quality control labs.

Subcontracting Declaration: Executed written declaration binding the manufacturer on capacity limits and prohibiting unauthorized third-party outsourcing.

Transparency Guarantee

If a supplier is Screened rather than Verified, we will tell you so before you place an order.
