How to Find Customers for Your Business Using Indian B2B Sites

Introduction: Why B2B Lead Generation Has Gone Digital

With over 75 million MSMEs powering India’s economy and over 60% of B2B purchases starting online, the traditional handshake deals are rapidly shifting to clicks and conversions.

Whether you’re a carpet wholesaler in Panipat, a garment manufacturer in Tirupur, or a machine tools supplier in Rajkot, today’s reality is clear: if you’re not present on B2B websites in India, you’re missing out on leads, growth, and visibility.

At Ekansh Global, we’ve helped thousands of Indian suppliers, wholesalers, and manufacturers generate verified leads by optimizing their digital presence. In this guide, you’ll discover how to use B2B portals the right way – with practical strategies, platform comparisons, and real business results.

What Is a B2B Website & How Does It Work in India?

A B2B (business-to-business) website is an online platform that connects manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and traders with buyers – either in bulk or for regular sourcing.

Unlike B2C (Business-to-Consumer) platforms like Flipkart or Amazon, B2B websites focus on high-volume, recurring transactions with features like:

• Bulk quotation requests
• MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) settings
• Product catalogs for businesses
• Verified buyer-seller match systems

How Indian Businesses Use B2B Platforms

• Suppliers list their products with pricing, specs, and certifications
• Buyers search based on category, region, MOQ, or delivery terms
• The platform enables inquiries, calls, and lead sharing via dashboard or WhatsApp

Did You Know?
 According to Statista, India’s digital buyer penetration in the B2B space is projected to reach 85% by 2027, driven by Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Key Benefits of Using B2B Websites in India

1. Pan-India Buyer Visibility

Listing your business on a B2B platform means being visible to buyers across every major sourcing hub – from Mumbai and Delhi to Coimbatore and Kanpur.

2. Cost-Effective Lead Generation

Compared to trade fairs or cold calling, platforms like Ekansh Global offer affordable listing packages and lead-based plans.

3. Smart Filtering for Targeted Buyers

Advanced filtering lets buyers discover your products based on:

• Product type
• Price range
• City/state
• MOQ
• Ratings

4. Faster Sales Cycles

With auto-responders, catalog downloads, and WhatsApp integrations, buyers can go from browsing to ordering within hours.

Step-by-Step: How to Generate Leads from B2B Portals

Step 1: Choose the Right Platform Based on Your Industry

Different portals cater to different industries.

Platform	Industry Focus	Highlights
Ekansh Global	All major B2B verticals	Smart filters, lead matching, buyer requests
IndiaMART	Industrial goods, machinery	High traffic, price-sensitive buyers
TradeIndia	Export & domestic	Verified listings, strong SEO
Udaan	Retail, FMCG	App-based platform for traders
ExportersIndia	International export	Best for export-ready MSMEs

Tip: Use multiple platforms but optimize one core platform for lead nurturing (like Ekansh Global).

Step 2: Build a Trustworthy Business Profile

Your company page is your digital visiting card. Here’s what to include:

• High-res logo and banner with factory image
• Company intro with keywords like “leading cotton yarn supplier in Ludhiana”
• Product images with watermark and white background
• GST, FSSAI, ISO, or other certifications
• Google Maps location or factory video

Why This Matters

Most buyers shortlist vendors based on profile completeness and product clarity, even before reaching out.

Step 3: List High-Demand Products with Keywords

Each product listing should act like an SEO magnet. Format it like:

• Product Title: “HDPE Plastic Granules – Bulk Supplier in Gujarat”

• 3–4 Bullet Points: material, MOQ, use case, color/finish
• Short description with buyer keywords
• Tags like: “plastic granules”, “industrial grade”, “B2B plastic supplier Gujarat”

Real Example:
One Ekansh Global client, a garment exporter from Tiruppur, increased leads by 170% after optimizing his product titles and images.

Step 4: Use Paid Features to Boost Visibility

Organic reach is good, but boosting visibility is faster with premium tools:

• Featured Listings on category pages
• Push Notifications for product launches
• WhatsApp Broadcast Leads
• Verified Seller Tag

Platforms like Ekansh Global allow you to target buyers by location, category, or budget, making your investment work smarter.

Step 5: Engage Promptly with Every Lead

Speed wins deals.

Here’s how to engage smartly:

• Respond to queries within 2 hours
• Offer brochure PDFs or videos instantly
• Share WhatsApp catalog link
• Use polite follow-ups (“Hi Sir, just checking if you got our rate sheet?”)

Quote from Experience:

“Fast replies and clear pricing close deals. Buyers don’t have time to chase suppliers.” — Ramesh Kumar, Steel Trader, Chennai

Advanced Tips for Long-Term Lead Generation

1. Create Blogs & Product Guides

Buyers love content that answers their questions. Try blog ideas like:

• “Top 10 Towel Manufacturers in India”
• “How to Choose the Right Packaging for Bulk Orders”

Content builds authority and boosts your SEO.

2. Ask for Reviews & Testimonials

Happy clients = credibility. Even 5-star text testimonials boost trust dramatically.

3. Run Targeted Campaigns

Use Google Ads + B2B portal ads for high-intent leads during trade shows or seasons (e.g., Diwali, Holi for FMCG).

Common Mistakes That Kill Leads

Avoid these pitfalls to stay ahead of competitors:

• ❌ Low-quality product photos
• ❌ Incomplete descriptions or missing prices
• ❌ No response to inquiries for 24+ hours
• ❌ No proof of credibility (certificates, reviews)
• ❌ Over-promising delivery or stock
