Export Delaware Welcomes New Trade Representatives in India: The Kanetkar Sisters

Export Delaware is pleased to announce the appointment of Sushama Kanetkar and Supriya Kanetkar as our new trade representatives in India, expanding our on-the-ground support for Delaware companies seeking to enter or grow in one of the world’s most dynamic and complex markets.

Based in Bengaluru, the Kanetkar sisters lead SRK International Business Consultants, a highly respected firm with more than 25 years of experience supporting international trade development, investment attraction, and market entry in India. Their appointment strengthens Export Delaware’s ability to provide Delaware businesses with practical, informed guidance as they explore export opportunities in the Indian market.

Proven Expertise in U.S.–India Trade

SRK International Business Consultants work closely with foreign corporate clients, U.S. Economic Development Organizations, and Export Promotion Councils of the Government of India. The firm has supported companies across a wide range of industries and at varying stages of growth—from early market exploration to long-term expansion strategies.

Over the past two and a half decades, SRK has:

• Assisted more than 2,500 U.S. companies with market entry services in India
• Delivered international trade development and investment attraction services for several U.S. State Governments
• Built deep relationships across Indian industry, government, and trade networks

This experience brings a strong understanding of U.S. business needs, regulatory expectations, and the practical challenges companies face when entering the Indian market.

Leadership Rooted in Experience

Sushama Kanetkar brings over three decades of experience in international trade and investment, having worked with a diverse portfolio of global clients across multiple industries. She currently serves as Vice Chair of IBG Global, an international association of private consulting firms with offices in 53 countries covering more than 150 global markets. SRK International Business Consultants is a long-standing partner within the IBG Global network.

Supriya Kanetkar brings nearly three decades of professional experience, including 25 years focused on international trade development. Her background spans both strategic advisory and hands-on market development work for international companies entering India.

In recognition of their contributions to global trade and industry, both Sushama and Supriya were individually honored with the Lokmat Global Excellence Award in 2024, presented by the Lokmat Media Group.

Supporting Delaware Companies Exporting to India

As Export Delaware’s trade representatives in India, the Kanetkar sisters will support Delaware companies by:

• Providing market intelligence and sector-specific insights
• Assisting with market entry strategies and partner identification
• Helping companies navigate regulatory, cultural, and business-practice considerations
• Facilitating connections with trusted local stakeholders

India presents significant opportunities for Delaware exporters across manufacturing, technology, life sciences, agribusiness, and professional services—but success requires informed, local expertise. The addition of Sushama and Supriya Kanetkar ensures Delaware companies have direct access to that expertise on the ground.

Export Delaware looks forward to working closely with SRK International Business Consultants and the Kanetkar sisters to help Delaware businesses expand confidently and successfully into the Indian market.

The first endeavor SRK International will plan is the Business Trip to India in February 2026. Learn more here.
