Recorded live while traveling in India, Steve shares early lessons from expanding his sourcing relationships into a country he's still learning, unlike China or Vietnam.
The episode covers where India has a real manufacturing edge (cotton textiles, metalwork, ceramics), why he passes on suppliers who don't share his values even at a price advantage, and why long-term relationships matter more than a single good deal.
For sellers considering India as a sourcing option alongside China.
