THE NAME
Along with Mesopotamia and Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilization ca 4000-1500BC is amongst the three oldest in the world
Although thought to have been confined to the valley of the river Indus- hence the name, it was a highly developed urban
civilization and spread across nearly 500,000 square miles
The major cities Harappa(3300BC) and Mohenjo-Daro(2500BC) -were well planned, houses built with baked bricks- and
had an elaborate system of developed sewage/water systems
-centred in what is now western India and Pakistan.
Trade seemed to be a major activity - decimal fractions and uniform weights/measurements were used.The seals found
are
in various shapes and size. The elegant script though
is still being deciphered by scholars
DOING BUSINESS WITH INDIA - THE RIGHT WAY
Through the centuries, India has always been one of the main centres of
learning / culture, which has attracted people from
all over the world.
Trade also
flourished and products made here still adorn the most reputable
of places
India has a lot to offer, but because of its size, diversity and unique
nature of production centres-many in the villages-to take
full advantage of
the potential,
one must either have one's own office here, or at least some
sort of representation - which
could handle things on similar professional
lines
Having a personal rapport with the factories goes a long way, but it is
when you want to increase the supply base by adding
on more vendors or want
to
diversify into other fields, that the role of a buying office comes into
the picture
It was to cater to this growing demand that
INDUS VALLEY was set up
in 1983 followed by it's sister concern
in
1996 - and represents
reputable wholesalers/ importers and selected
speciality stores for their buying from India.
The main categories include, though is not limited to
» Home textiles
» Giftware/ decorations
» Furniture
» Fashion accessories
» Ready to wear garments
» Leatherware
Buyers are always looking for special and exclusive items and with the
ability of the craftsmen / factories to create these quickly and
continuously,
India will always remain a market to reckon with
