Sidharth Tekriwal
Director - PT
Below is an excerpt of Sidharth interview with CEO Insights.
Describe your journey that prompted you to draw a career path in the Import Export industry? What has kept you motivated?
Getting into the Import Export industry was just destined for me. From just a year of work experience requirement for my MBA program in the US, it grew into the career path of my choice. Having travelled extensively, the sphere of import export has always fascinated me. It's not simply its omnipresence that marvels me, it's the dynamism. This field demands practicing long established patterns while engineering creative strategies. It scrutinizes idiosyncrasies while considering the macro environment. And it's ubiquitous, yet embraces risk.
Something that always keeps me motivated is the fact that in this industry, you always need to be vigilant. I'm someone who is passionate about the agricultural industry and supply chain, so I need to be very updated about the slightest change in the market, whether it is with your suppliers, employees, consumers, competitors, even the government policies. Any such changes in the business environment can be full of opportunities or challenges something that, if left unnoticed, could be extremely detrimental.
You have more than two decades of experience in this industry, what has been your key ingredient that helped you achieve the position you hold today?
Quality is not an option. It is the very DNA of our business. Everything we do is driven by the fundamental desire to gain and maintain the
unwavering trust of our customers. We take pride in creating customers brimming with satisfaction from a partner well chosen in creating relationships that last and will continue to last for generations to come.
Define Global Vision Impex as an organization and could you talk about your sourcing process? How do you ensure the quality of your deliverables?
Nurtured by nature and inspired by passion we deliver only the very highest quality of products.
The key to providing the world's best materials is, essentially, in ensuring partnering with highly experienced farming communities who have helped us harvest the best materials for generations. This life long partnership, combined with the latest spice processing technologies is a major element in ensuring consistency in the quality of every single batch,allowing us to meet global supply chain quality standard and criteria.

With accountability and active engagement of trained staff to adhere to micro management in the production process, at every stage we offer unparalleled trace ability and assurance.
