Solvency
Financial health
Margins, leverage, and payment behavior, read from filings and financial records rather than a sales deck.
Supplier intelligence · US ↔ India
Due diligence and monitoring for your Indian suppliers.
Setu Supply helps US manufacturers sourcing from India find out which factories they can actually trust. We assess each supplier’s financial health, capacity, customer concentration, and compliance from independent records — and keep watching after you start buying.
The problem
Tariffs moved your supply chain. Your diligence didn’t move with it.
Most buyers see the factory the factory wants them to see. Two of these ten are actually verified.
How we evaluate
Triangulation, not trust.
We don’t ask the factory to prove itself. We reconstruct the truth from independent customs and financial records, then compare it to the story the supplier tells you. Where the two diverge is where the risk lives — the same lens a private-equity investor brings to a company before writing a check.
Dependence
Customer concentration
Who actually buys from them, and how exposed the factory is if a single account walks.
Reality
Export & shipment history
Real volumes and destinations from independent bill-of-lading records — measured against what the supplier claims.
Standing
Compliance posture
Trade actions, sanctions exposure, registry standing, and the accuracy of prior US import filings.
The deliverable
One supplier, four scored dimensions, every source shown.
