Which districts in Lakshadweep are available?

Do I need a drug licence issued in Lakshadweep?
Yes. The licence has to be issued by the drug licensing authority of Lakshadweep - a licence held in another state does not cover you here, and we cannot dispatch against one.

Kavaratti, Agatti, Andrott, Minicoy. Kavaratti is usually where a new partner starts, because the trade is concentrated there and it is the easiest place to establish a few products before spreading into the smaller districts.

Stock routes through Kochi and then by ship to the islands. Expect two to three weeks door to door, and longer during the monsoon when sailings are cut back. Dispatch happens within two to three working days of payment clearing.

Yes, subject to what is open there. Lakshadweep borders reached from Kochi, Kerala, and a partner who is already working with us gets first refusal on an adjoining territory before we offer it elsewhere.

What makes this a good opportunity for me?
You are not building a market from nothing - the products, the packing, the certifications and the manufacturing are already in place, and so are more than a thousand distributors across the country. What you bring is the district and the relationships in it.
