Hello everyone, been running my own business and have a marketing wing as well. Looking for some interns to manage my YouTube and website blogs.

I'm curious to know what is the range of internship salaries in Vadodara, Anand, Bharuch region?

Official trade data shows India's exports grew 13.4% YoY to $43.7B in April 2026. Most of the growth seems concentrated in petroleum, telecom, and pharma. Curious if merchant exporters and smaller businesses here are actually feeling any difference — more inquiries, better pricing, new buyers? Or is the headline number not translating to ground reality for most of us?

To operate international trade business, where sales, marketing, quotes and tracking of goods and services is needed, a CRM solution can come handy. Does your business use any sort of solution for the same?

We started using the free HubSpot account recently.

I want to start an exporting business but I am skeptical on whether I should start or not. I can supply leather goods however because I am only starting, I cannot supply in huge quantities. Can anyone help/give advice?

While everyone on the internet suggest that having a good and fast website is essential for an exports business, how many of you have achieved positive and converting leads from your website in the past year?

I'll go first, 2 leads got converted, 15+ vague leads came from website.

Ive been trying to break into exporting hotel uniforms for a few months now and Im honestly a bit stuck on what actually works in real life.

Most of my early attempts were through online listings and while I did get a few inquiries, they mostly faded after pricing or sample discussions.

I also tried reaching out directly through emails and a couple of trade groups, but it still feels like I’m just guessing and not really building anything consistent

What’s confusing me is that some people make it sound straightforward. Although my experience has been more like random conversations that don’t turn into actual orders

Rn I’m trying to figure out what channels actually matter for this niche and whether I should be focusing more on trade fairs, referrals, or something else entirely. Samajh nahi aa raha ki exactly kaunsa approach actually kaam karta hai aur kaunsa bas time waste hai

For those who have already gone through this stage, what actually helped you get your first solid international buyer? and also what would you avoid doing again if you started over?
