We connect European and Australasian apparel brands with verified Indian manufacturers — delivering quality, transparency, and control at every step of your supply chain.
Most international buyers who source from India face the same challenge — factories overpromise, communication breaks down mid-production, and the goods that arrive rarely match the approved sample.
AK Exports was built to solve exactly this. We are a Bengaluru-based garment sourcing agency with deep operational experience inside India's leading export houses. We understand how Indian factories work, what they can realistically deliver, and exactly how to hold them accountable throughout the production cycle.
We act as your dedicated India-side sourcing partner — your eyes and ears on the factory floor — so you always know what's happening with your order, without having to chase anyone.
7+ years operating inside Indian garment export houses — managing production, costing, QC, and buyer communications.
No brokers. Direct relationships with verified manufacturers across Bengaluru and Tirupur clusters.
Flexible minimum order quantities. Ideal for emerging labels and boutique retailers scaling up.
We earn 5–10% on FOB value. No retainer. No hidden costs. Our success depends entirely on yours.
From factory identification to export documentation — we manage every operational step so you can focus entirely on your brand.
We research, shortlist, and evaluate factories based on your product type, quality standard, and target price — sharing detailed factory profiles before any commitment.
Proto, fit, and pre-production samples managed with technical precision — translating your tech packs into factory instructions and tracking approval milestones.
Transparent costing sheets covering fabric, trims, CMT, overheads, and margin. Price negotiation handled directly with factories on your behalf.
Regular factory visits, production progress updates, and inline quality checks throughout bulk manufacturing — with written reports at every stage.
AQL-based final inspections covering measurements, workmanship, packing, and labelling before goods leave the factory. Issues caught before they ship.
Full coordination of commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any compliance documents required for your destination market.
Our factory network is strongest in three core apparel segments — aligned with Bengaluru and Tirupur's manufacturing strengths.
Shirts, trousers, polos, tees, and workwear essentials. Woven and knit constructions. Strong factory base across Bengaluru for consistent repeat production.
Dresses, blouses, co-ords, skirts, and casual separates. Fashion-forward styles with reliable production consistency for seasonal buying programmes.
Tops, sets, and co-ordinates for children and infants. Safe fabric requirements strictly observed. Oeko-Tex compliant options available from Tirupur factories.

Small-MOQ boutique sourcing
India has solidified its position as a top global garment manufacturing destination — offering a rare combination of skilled craftsmanship, diverse fabric infrastructure, competitive FOB pricing, and scalable production across multiple clusters.
For growing brands unable to meet China-scale MOQs, India offers a more flexible and accessible route to quality manufacturing — with English-speaking factories, established export infrastructure, and strong government support for apparel exports.
The recently concluded India–UK FTA significantly reduces import duties on Indian garments entering the UK — creating a direct cost advantage for UK buyers who shift sourcing to India. This is the right moment to establish a reliable India supply chain.
Share your product requirement — category, quantity, target price, and delivery window. We respond with an assessment within 48 hours.
We identify and present 2–3 matched factories with profiles, capacity, MOQ, and lead time details. Sample development initiated on approval.
Bulk order placed and monitored. Inline inspections and pre-shipment AQL checks completed before goods leave the factory.
Goods shipped on agreed FOB or CIF terms. Full export documentation dispatched. Commission invoiced on successful completion.
We are not a trading company. We are not a directory. We are an operational sourcing agency that takes ownership of your order from brief to shipment.
We manage production actively — visiting factories, checking inline quality, and escalating issues before they become shipment problems. You receive regular written updates without asking.
Our factory relationships accommodate orders from 200 pieces upwards — making us the right partner for brands that are scaling, not just those that have already scaled.
Our costing sheets show every line item — fabric, trims, CMT, overheads, and our commission. What you approve is what you pay. No surprises at invoice time.
We work only with factories that meet basic social and quality compliance standards. Documentation for EU and ANZ import requirements prepared with every shipment.
