Alibaba.com has partnered with the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) is extending its focus on the engineering sector in India. Alibaba.com has participated in EEPC's flagship event, the International Engineering Sourcing Show (IESS) 2012, with the aim of providing a platform for engineering sector SMEs to showcase their prowess to more than 300 exhibitors, including overseas buyers as part of this association. Alibaba.com shared its expertise in trading with global partners by leveraging e-commerce with EEPC's members at India's engineering exhibition in order to educate Indian SMEs in the engineering sector about capitalising on export opportunities.
Nayan Thakkar, Manager, Customer and Sales, Alibaba.com India said, "The engineering sector in India has been performing exceedingly well, clocking great export revenues for the country as well as growing at a stable rate. However, in order to sustain this growth, it is imperative for the industry to reduce dependence on traditional markets for exports and look for newer, greener pastures globally. And, e-commerce is not only a great way to learn but also an efficient tool to tap these vast opportunities."
He further said, "We are happy to partner with EEPC, an organization that shares our belief that SMEs need to be educated about the need to mitigate risks by diversifying trading partners. This sourcing show is a great platform for SMEs to interact with and learn about the sourcing needs of global buyers. And, we hope that synergies like this will go long way in enabling Indian SMEs to establish a global foot print."
