Work with Viral Shah and the EILI team project-by-project, on a monthly retainer, or as your fractional export manager — the breadth of a whole trade team, for a fraction of the cost.

🧠 Senior experience, day one 🧩 Whole trade lifecycle 💸 A fraction of a full hire

पूरा export-import department रखने की ज़रूरत नहीं — एक experienced consultant काफ़ी है।

A full-time hire, or a consultant on your side?

Most growing exporters don't need another salary on the books — they need senior judgement, available when it matters. Here's the honest comparison.

Hiring full-time

An in-house export manager
  • A fixed monthly salary — plus EPF, bonus & benefits
  • One person's experience, with gaps in other areas
  • Weeks or months to find and onboard the right person
  • Often idle in slow months, stretched thin in peak
  • You carry the hiring risk if it doesn't work out

A consultant on retainer

EILI, on your side
  • Senior, cross-lifecycle experience from day one
  • Breadth of a whole team — strategy to compliance
  • Start this week, not next quarter
  • Scale up or down as your order book moves
  • Pay for outcomes, not idle desk time
Best for SMEs, manufacturers & growing exporters who want expertise without the overhead.
🤝 The breadth of a trade team — for a fraction of one salary.
What Your Consultant Handles

One desk for the whole trade lifecycle

From "should we export this?" to the shipment landing and the incentive hitting your account — covered. शुरुआत से delivery तक — सब कुछ।

🧭

Market & Buyer Strategy

Which product, which country, which buyers — and how to reach them. સાચું market.

📄

Documentation

Invoices, packing lists, LC, Certificate of Origin, shipping docs — done right.

🪪

Licences & Registrations

IEC, RCMC, AD code, DGFT registrations and scheme applications. सारे licence.

⚖️

Compliance & Risk

Customs, FEMA, GST and documentation compliance — so nothing trips you up.

💰

Incentives & Schemes

RoDTEP, Drawback, EPCG, Advance Authorisation — claimed and managed. હક્કના benefits.

🧮

Costing & Pricing

Export costing, landed-cost and quotations that win orders yet stay profitable.

🚢

Logistics & Incoterms

Freight, Incoterms, ports and clearing — structured to cut cost and delay.

🎓

Team Training

We upskill your own staff so the capability stays inside your company too.

Ways to Work Together

Engage us the way that fits your business

તમારા business ને જે બંધબેસે — એ રીતે અમારી સાથે કામ કરો.

🎯
Model 1

Project-Based

A defined goal with a clear start and finish — enter a new market, set up your export documentation, fix a compliance gap, or recover pending incentives.

Best for: a specific job you need done well, once.
🔁
Model 2 · Most chosen

Monthly Retainer

Ongoing, on-call support across everything above — a set number of hours each month for strategy, documents, compliance and problem-solving as they come up.

Best for: regular exporters who want a steady expert hand.
🧑‍💼
Model 3

Fractional Export Manager

We effectively run your export-import function part-time — the seniority of a trade head, without a full-time position on your payroll.

Best for: growing firms not ready for a full-time hire.

Scope and fees are agreed after a short scoping call — you only commit once it's clearly worth it. पहले scope, फिर commitment।

🧩
One senior consultant. The breadth of a whole trade team.

Most export problems don't sit neatly in one box — a pricing issue is also a costing, incentive and Incoterm issue. Working with one experienced consultant who sees the whole picture beats stitching together five separate vendors. એક જ હાથમાં આખું picture.

1

Scoping call

4

Stay on call

Ongoing support so the next decision, document or deal is never a guess.
