Testimonials

The RBSM in Vijayawada was a really great experience with down-to-earth entrepreneurs. It was well hosted by a dedicated FIEO team and SheTrades India Hub. I signed 3 MOUs and am working closely with a supplier on cargo to Mauritius. As someone working with Indian cottons for 30+ years, I found this incredibly fruitful. Thank you to SheTrades Mauritius for making this possible!

The International Reverse Buyer Seller Meet (RBSM) in Vijayawada was an exceptionally well-organized event that provided invaluable opportunities to connect directly with Indian manufacturers. The platform offered a clear view of the quality products available in sectors like healthcare, textiles, and wellness. Through meaningful interactions with suppliers, I gained insight into potential sourcing avenues that will significantly benefit our future operations. I am already in advanced discussions with two Indian manufacturers for ongoing supply contracts. This event has been an essential step in fostering long-term collaborations, and I am grateful to SheTrades Mauritius and the organisers for facilitating such a fruitful experience.
