Slaavno is an India-based sourcing and buying support company focused on helping UK businesses navigate Indian suppliers with clarity and confidence.
We are not a marketplace, trading house, or seller of goods. Our role is to act as your independent sourcing partner in India—supporting you throughout the supplier discovery and buying process while ensuring transparency at every stage.
We assist UK buyers by identifying suitable manufacturers and suppliers, facilitating communication, supporting negotiations, coordinating samples, and helping manage quality and compliance expectations. All commercial agreements, payments, and shipments take place directly between the buyer and the supplier.
By working purely in the buyer’s interest, Slaavno helps reduce sourcing risks, save time, and enable better buying decisions when sourcing from India. While our primary focus is supporting UK businesses, we also assist buyers from other international markets on request.
