Your Transformation

This Program Doesn't Teach. It Transforms.

CONNECT is built for achievers, performers and transformers — people who measure success in shipments and crores, not certificates. Here's what transformation looks like:

🚀

₹0 Your First CroreFrom zero experience to your first international shipment — and a business built to scale beyond it.

🌏

Local GlobalTransform your domestic business into an export enterprise selling in international markets.

🏷️

Domestic Brand International BrandPosition, package and pitch your products the way global buyers expect — and pay premium for.

🏢

One Nation Multinational CompanyBuild the systems, compliance and buyer network to operate across multiple countries.

📈

₹10 Cr ₹25 Cr · ₹50 Cr ₹100 CrAlready exporting? Plug the leaks in costing, payment terms, documentation and buyer strategy — and scale to the next level.

🧭

Confusion CommandWalk out with your product finalized, market selected, and a clear execution roadmap — not just notes.

Already exporting for 3, 5 or 10 years? Exporters doing crores of business every year have gone through CONNECT and transformed how they cost, negotiate, document and scale. Experience हो या ना हो — system सबको चाहिए।

Viral Shah

Founder & Owner, Export Import Leadership Institute by Viral Shah

For 18+ years, Viral Shah has lived international trade — not read about it. From negotiating with global buyers to executing real shipments across continents, his teaching comes from the field: actual containers, actual documentation, actual payment realizations.

As a corporate trainer, he has been trusted by India's biggest names — Adani, Mitsubishi, ITC, Viraj Profiles and Sonalika Tractors — to train their international business teams. As a mentor, he has addressed over 1 lakh people across 26 cities, helping 20,000+ start their export-import journey and generating 3,000+ active exporters-importers.

I have no business background. Can I still join?
  • Yes — CONNECT starts from foundations. Over 20,000 people have completed this program, most starting with zero prior trade experience.
I'm already exporting. Will this still benefit me?
  • Absolutely. Exporters with 3–10+ years of experience, doing crores in annual exports, have gone through CONNECT and transformed their costing, payment security, documentation and buyer acquisition. Experience gives you speed; the system gives you scale.
I can't attend weekends. Is there another option?
