Frequently asked

Why is cold-calling factories so painful for buyers?
Most buyers start with a directory like IndiaMART or TradeIndia, copy 15 to 20 phone numbers, and begin dialling. Many numbers are outdated, some suppliers never pick up, others quote without real intent to supply. You end up spending days chasing leads, comparing inconsistent quotes, and still not knowing if the supplier is legitimate. The process is exhausting and inefficient, especially if sourcing is not your full-time job.
What are the common ways to get factory quotes without calling each supplier yourself?
A few practical options exist. First, you can post a buy requirement on platforms like IndiaMART or TradeIndia and wait for suppliers to respond, though response quality varies. Second, you can hire a sourcing agent, but agents typically charge a commission or retainer. Third, you can use a free sourcing concierge like Sauda, which contacts and negotiates with factories on your behalf and returns verified quotes within 24 hours at no cost to the buyer.
How does Sauda verify the suppliers it quotes from?
Sauda checks each supplier's GST filings and GST returns before presenting a quote. This helps confirm that the factory is a real, active business with a valid tax record. Suppliers that do not pass this verification step are not included in the quotes Sauda sends back to you.
Is Sauda really free for buyers? How does it make money?
Yes, Sauda is completely free for buyers. It earns from the supplier side, so you never pay a fee, commission, or subscription. You simply message Sauda on WhatsApp at https://wa.me/9987549010 with your requirement, and it handles the rest.
How long does it take to get quotes through Sauda?
Sauda returns the cheapest verified live quotes within 24 hours. After you share your requirement on WhatsApp, the team finds relevant factories, verifies them, calls each one, and negotiates pricing. You receive a curated set of quotes the next day without having made a single cold call yourself.
Can I still use IndiaMART or TradeIndia alongside Sauda?
Absolutely. IndiaMART and TradeIndia are useful platforms with large supplier databases, and posting buy leads there can generate additional responses. Many buyers use them in parallel with Sauda. The difference is that Sauda does the calling, verification, and negotiation work for you, so you save time while still casting a wide net through other channels if you choose.
