Trump Tariffs Will Reshape How Indian Exporters Trade — Arnifi Leads the Shift

Bengaluru, India — [14 May 2025] — Global tariff adjustments are prompting a surge in Indian export activity, with Arnifi reporting a 2X increase this quarter in companies seeking to set up export operations through its platform. The trend reflects a strategic pivot by Indian businesses aiming to maintain global market access amid increasing trade compliance pressures.

As tariffs reshape traditional supply chains—especially in trade corridors involving the US and EU—India is gaining ground as a cost-effective and compliant export alternative. Exporters are responding by accelerating digital infrastructure investments and adopting platforms that simplify cross-border setup and regulatory adherence.

This surge is being driven across diverse industry verticals, as Indian businesses urgently look to establish a global presence quickly and compliantly. Following President Trump’s tariff announcement on April 2nd, Arnifi witnessed a sharp spike in demand—receiving 325 enquiries in April alone, representing over a 120% increase from March’s average of 150. Of these, 20% came from manufacturing-led exporters, 34% from IT and digital services companies, 25% from consulting firms, and 14% from high-compliance sectors such as financial services. The remaining 7% were from emerging sectors and niche exporters. Notably, the highest interest has come from key business hubs such as Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai. In April alone, Arnifi successfully helped 40 businesses expand into various global markets. 

These companies are leveraging Arnifi to streamline export pathways, reduce regulatory friction, and accelerate market entry timelines. This cross-sector, multi-region adoption highlights the broad applicability of Arnifi’s platform in navigating the complexities of international trade.

Arnifi, built specifically for India’s trade landscape, has become a preferred partner for companies aiming to establish export operations quickly and compliantly. Its integrated tools address documentation, compliance, and operational workflows—allowing exporters to respond rapidly to shifting global demand and regulatory environments.

“Trade partners are no longer just looking at cost—they’re evaluating trust, compliance, and adaptability. India has a historic opportunity to lead, and Arnifi is proud to be enabling that shift,” said Manu Midha, CEO of Arnifi.

Arnifi’s recent growth is driven not only by the need for speed and efficiency but also by the increasing importance of compliance in global sourcing decisions. As international buyers prioritize transparency and regulatory clarity, Indian firms leveraging platforms like Arnifi are gaining a competitive edge. The platform’s expertise in global markets, especially in high-demand regions like the UAE, positions it as a strategic launchpad for businesses navigating export complexities.
