HELPING YOU PROCURE GOODS AND SERVICES FROM INDIA, DEVELOP BUSINESS AND SELL INTO INDIA AND ADMINISTER THE PROCESS ALL ALONG THE WAY

India Source offers different levels of service to clients who are going to India. We can either have a personal assistant wait on you while in India who attends to your every need or we can provide a person in the US who can walk you through step by step while you are there as the need arises.

Need an interpreter? No problem. We have experts who speak Hindi fluently as well as one of any 18 major languages country wide. We can enter into direct negotiations on your behalf or simply make your points understood while you directly engage the vendor.

We highly recommend a Professional Guide and Professional Driver. They can ensure as seamless of a trip as possible, reducing wasted time, mistakes, frustrating interactions with the locals, and provide piece of mind to both you and the supplier who will take you more seriously if you have engaged a local person. It reduces problems related to language barriers and general cultural barriers. Our highly skilled and highly trained Guides are prepped on your needs so they know how to react in most situations.

Professional Drivers

India is not for the faint of heart when it comes to transport. Roads are shoddy, public transport is hugely crowded, street signs are non-existent even in major cities, and the infrastructure in general is very poor, although improving daily.

We can provide professional drivers who are trained in how to handle the streets of India as well as drive according to American Standards. In India in general most drivers are either young kids who drive erratically and who do NOT possess a good command of the vehicle or much older persons who no longer have the reflexes to safely act as needed.

At India Source we have our own driver training programs to make sure you are taken safely to and from your various destinations. They are also trained in certain security procedures should a situation arise where your safety is in question. This involves both use of the vehicle defensively and offensively as well as in protecting you the client.

Most rental car companies insist that their drivers not travel more than 30-40 miles / hour for both safety and for fuel economy. It is almost impossible to get the driver to drive at speeds higher than that even on brand new roads and highways which are of US standards. This can make driving very tedious not to mention exhausting. We make sure to take you at safe but efficient speeds so you get where you need to go as fast as possible. It is not uncommon to start out of a city on a paved or bumpy rough road which then goes to a mix of gravel and dirt to a road that is almost impassable. We will take the necessary precautions so you are as comfortable as you can be and safe.

If you are planning on being in-country for a period of time we will make sure to arrange a series of guides who specialize in various areas of both personal and professional interest. This will ensure all of your needs are met. In case of a personality mismatch between you and your guide we will work hard to settle any issues or provide a different guide. We kindly request you to inform us of your particular personality style and the specific needs you have so we can most closely match our guides to your needs.
