Welcome to Guide India – Connecting the Tea Industry

The Indian tea industry is built on relationships, knowledge, and trust. Yet, every day, buyers search for reliable suppliers, manufacturers look for customers, estates seek service providers, and professionals look for the right opportunities.

Guide India aims to bridge these gaps by creating a simple platform where the right people can connect.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, source, or offer services, I invite you to get in touch.

I welcome enquiries related to:

  • Tea (CTC, Orthodox, Green, Specialty, Organic and Herbal Teas)
  • Tea estates and factories
  • Tea manufacturers and packers
  • Tea blending and private label requirements
  • Tea exports and imports
  • Tea packaging materials
  • Tea machinery and equipment (new and used)
  • Processing machinery, automation and engineering solutions

  • Tea auction and brokerage services
  • Recruitment and placements across the tea value chain
  • Distributors, wholesalers, retailers and institutional buyers
  • Franchise, dealership and business partnership opportunities
  • Any other product or service connected with the tea industry

My Role

I am not a trader or an agent for any particular company. My objective is to connect genuine buyers with genuine sellers, and help the tea ecosystem find the right partners quickly and efficiently.

If you have a requirement, a product to offer, machinery to sell, a service to promote, or a business opportunity to explore, I will make every effort to connect you with suitable counterparts.

The stronger our network becomes, the more value it creates for everyone in the tea industry.
