Which districts in Lakshadweep are available?
A good number of the 1 districts in Lakshadweep are open at any given time, but this changes daily. Send us your district and the therapy you want and we will check all 8 divisions and reply the same day. If that division has already gone in your district, we will say so plainly rather than keep you hoping.
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. GST registration in Lakshadweep is required as well. Send copies of both and we will send the rate list while your paperwork is being checked.
Which are the main pharmaceutical markets in Lakshadweep?
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.
How long does delivery to Lakshadweep take?
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.
Can I expand into the states next to Lakshadweep?
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 is the minimum order?
Rs. 25,000. That figure is set so your first order carries enough range to show a doctor properly, rather than a handful of products that prove nothing. Promotional inputs go with it free.
What are the payment terms?
Trading orders are 100% advance. Once a working relationship is established, terms can be discussed - but we would rather agree that after a few orders than promise it before the first.
