IndiaMART.com LAUNCHES ‘TRUSTSEAL’

Business Star,

“Any Company that displays a TrustSEAL online would mean that its documents regarding legal status, existence, credibility, quality standards, etc. have been verified by IndiaMART as a third party.”

Indiamart.com, India’s largest online B2B marketplace, has launched ‘TrustSEAL’ – an indicator of trustworthiness of a company displayed online based upon its verified documents pertaining to existence, legal status, statutory approvals, affiliations and quality certifications.

“The ‘trust-factor’ plays a crucial role in growth of online trading, more so in the B2B (business-to-business) segment where the value and volume of transactions are high. How does one ensure the credibility of a company by merely having a look at its website, or worse still, merely a listing in online directory with a brief description and contact info? IndiaMART being a trusted and established online marketplace, today is in a position to offer its business visitors a set of companies across industries that it has verified for existence, legal status, performance and credibility,” comments Mr Dinesh Agarwal, CEO, IndiaMART.com.

TRUST SEALGlobal B2B buyers, while dealing with distant, unknown companies are unsure of the credibility and even existence of their counterpart businesses. Indiamart.com plays host to over 1,20,000 member suppliers & exporters and more than 2 million global buyers who visit the marketplace every month. Companies participating at Indiamart.com can apply to obtain TrustSEAL, which will be granted if the documents presented by the company comply with the minimum requirements as laid down by IndiaMART. These documents may include Company registration certificate, Income Tax Registration/PAN number, Sales Tax No., RBI Code No., quality certifications, audited financial results, etc.

Once approved, companies can display TrustSEAL along with verified details at their websites, catalogs, directory listings, trade offers, etc. Thus, any company that displays a TrustSEAL online would mean that its documents regarding legal status, existence, credibility, quality standards, etc. have been verified by IndiaMART as a third party. Buyers dealing with a certified company may even seek access to copies of such documents as mentioned in the respective TrustSEAL. This would enable buyers to deal with companies online with a higher level of confidence.
