I wish to start an exclusive shop of imported Chocolates in Guwahati.

However, I am not able to connect with the right people or the importers.

If any one can help me here.

Hi Navin,

If you HAVE to start such a venture, do you see the Movement, traction and the Sales to Support the same there?

Looks like there is NO One in Guwahati Currently selling the same to get you on this Bandwagon all by yourself ? Ask some players in the General store, Malls or Modern Trade category to find out some basic information about Distributors, Wholesalers in your region, am sure not many on this forum would know more of Guwahati than their own Towns for a start. Though this would be my personal Suggestion start from the Ground up… Google Your Best Friend.

Do you have the Required Infrastructure and the Setup to get this off the Ground as yet ?

If you have the Logistics and the Storage sorted out even if you have the Demand, Supply on check, Guwahati would be a bit Off for Foreign chocolates Consumption by the Gumption.

Now that you mentioned you do not know the Right people and the Importers “Just Dial” hai na ? Start from there? Find out more. They may not be Siting in Guwahati, (The Importers etc) but they may be in your Nearest Metro Town or City – Guess that would be Kolkatta for you, or if you have the readiness you can Move them from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, etc as well adding to your cost of course for that matter. If they are not coming to you (Since they do not know your Good Intentions yet) You may have to reach out for them until you click a Deal.

Interact with people in similar trade locally, let them know of your Intentions only then you would come to know Who is Where and From What, Why, When and How you can Take things further as required.

I could only mention these since You had a very GENERIC question posed with no Details or Information supporting the Exercise to be undertaken. Hope this helps!!! Cheers and Good Luck!! Do IT!! But with care!
