India–Mexico Trade Corridor: Credlix Launches India Sourcing to Strengthen Bilateral Trade and Financing for Mexican Manufacturers

The Wire6 hours ago

Introduced at the Embassy of India event in Mexico, the initiative deepens economic collaboration between the two countries New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) Credlix, a global fintech platform for cross-border supply chain financing, has announced the launch of its India–Mexico Connect service. This new offering enables Mexican buyers to source industrial products directly from Indian manufacturers via the deep B2B network of Moglix—Credlix's parent company—while accessing seamless, collateral-free trade financing.
This marks the first time an Indian B2B startup is introducing such a service in Mexico, strengthening collaboration between Mexican importers and Indian exporters, and accelerating supply chain diversification for Mexican businesses.
The service was formally introduced at the IndMex Chamber event hosted by the Embassy of India in Mexico on Thursday, June 19, in the presence of H.E. Pankaj Sharma, Ambassador of India to Mexico. Organized by the Trade and Commerce Council of India and Mexico (IndMex), the event convened key stakeholders from business, trade, and diplomacy to foster stronger bilateral ties.
'With the launch of India Sourcing for Mexico, we are enabling a new chapter in India–LATAM trade,' said Rahul Garg, Founder & CEO of Moglix and Credlix. 'As Mexico grows as a nearshoring hub and India expands its manufacturing base, this initiative bridges both supply and capital gaps, creating stronger global value chains.' Ambassador Dr. Pankaj Sharma, along with Daniel Becker Feldman, CEO of Banca Mifel, emphasized the shift from diplomatic goodwill to concrete business outcomes. Dr. Sharma reiterated the growing momentum in bilateral cooperation and stressed the importance of enabling tangible economic engagement.
Becker Feldman highlighted Mexico's untapped potential in digital finance, noting that 'over half of Mexican transactions remain cash-based,' and praised India's digital payments infrastructure as a model Banca Mifel already leverages.
Through India–Mexico Connect, Mexican buyers can access a wide range of industrial products—including automotive components, engineering goods, chemicals, bulk packaging, textiles, and electronics—from over 20,000 Indian suppliers in the Moglix network. Backed by Credlix's invoice-based export financing, these imports are eligible for up to 90% working capital at the time of shipment, all without collateral.
The platform addresses long-standing challenges such as payment security, sourcing complexity, and limited access to trade finance. By integrating procurement and financing into a digital-first platform, it delivers a frictionless cross-border trade experience.
Aligned with global trends such as China 1 diversification, nearshoring, and Indo-Pacific economic cooperation, this initiative aims to rapidly grow the relatively smaller USD 11 billion trade between India and Mexico, which stands in sharp contrast to Mexico's USD 120 billion trade with China. India–Mexico Connect positions India as a reliable sourcing partner and Credlix as the financial backbone of this evolving trade corridor.
Credlix Credlix is a global supply chain financing platform that enables SMEs to access fast, collateral-free working capital. With operations across India, the United States, Mexico, and the UAE, Credlix helps businesses scale sustainably and thrive in global markets.

Digital Contract Readiness Lags Across Indian Enterprises: SignDesk Report Urges Immediate Action from Corporate Legal Teams

NewsVoir Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 26: SignDesk Research Council today released their research study titled "Beyond the Signature: How India's Corporate Legal Teams Are Embracing Digital Contracts". The first of its kind in India, the research offers an unprecedented look into how in-house legal departments across the country are navigating the shift from manual, paper-based workflows to digital and automated contract management. With 82% of corporate legal teams citing delays and manual dependencies as key pain points, the report underscores an urgent need for legal departments to adopt intelligent contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems to stay competitive and compliant. Surveying over 500 legal professionals across sectors such as BFSI, tech, pharma, manufacturing, and retail, the study spans India's major metros--including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata. Respondents included general counsels, legal ops heads, and legal managers from large enterprises, mid-market firms to startups. Key Findings: A Legal Function at an Inflection Point - Digital Adoption is Growing, But Partial: 43% of respondents have implemented some form of e-signature or digital contract tool, yet only 18% have adopted a fully integrated Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system. - BFSI Leads the Way: Over 75% of BFSI organizations use e-signatures; across other industries, adoption stands at 53%. - Time, Compliance, and Cost Drive Transformation: 86% cite time efficiency, 74% stronger compliance, and 68% cost savings as primary motivators for going digital. - Barriers Remain Significant: 57% of legal teams remain offline due to concerns over legal validity (52%), client reluctance (45%), and cybersecurity (41%). - Regulatory Clarity Lags Awareness: Only 39% of professionals were fully aware of Indian laws supporting e-signatures, despite robust frameworks under the IT Act, DPDPA 2023, and Aadhaar-based authentication rules. - City-Wise Trends: Bengaluru (58%), Mumbai (54%), and Delhi NCR (51%) lead digital adoption, while Kolkata (35%) and Chennai (37%) lag. - Automation as the Next Frontier: 74% of legal teams express strong intent to adopt automated tools for drafting, versioning, risk flagging, and reminders. The study also outlines a seven-phase roadmap for legal departments to digitally transform, from conducting internal audits and stakeholder education to selecting scalable platforms and tracking measurable impact. "As a leader in the digital contracts space, SignDesk has taken the initiative to publish this study to help organisations take decisive action," said Krupesh Bhat, Founder & CEO of SignDesk. "The findings show that most legal teams are stuck in outdated processes, which not only drain productivity but also pose serious compliance and risk management challenges. Our goal is to equip forward-thinking organisations with the insights they need to be future-ready in contract lifecycle management." With this report, the SignDesk Research Council aims to spark dialogue, share actionable insights, and equip legal teams with the tools and confidence to lead digital transformation from the frontlines.

Private equity flows into Indian real estate fall 41% in H1 CY25: Report

Private equity (PE) investments in Indian real estate declined by 41 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to USD 1.7 billion in the first half of calendar year 2025 (H1 CY25) due to global macroeconomic pressures, according to a report by Knight Frank India. According to the report, this downturn is not merely cyclical but highlights a broader structural shift in global and domestic capital views of Indian real estate. Investors appear to be more focused on post-tax visibility, currency-adjusted returns, and credible execution over scale or momentum. The number of transactions also dropped sharply from 24 in H1 CY24 to 12 in H1 CY25, further reflecting increased selectivity in deal-making. While overall capital deployment across real estate declined due to global macroeconomic pressures, the office segment stood out with USD 706 million invested across three transactions, marking a 22 per cent Y-o-Y increase from USD 579 million in H1 CY24. The investments in the residential segment stood at USD 500 million, down 41 per cent Y-o-Y. Western institutional capital receded further in H1 CY25, primarily due to the narrowing India–US yield spread, rupee depreciation (from 83.1 in December 2023 to 85.6 per USD in H1 CY25), and India's 12.5 per cent long-term capital gains tax, which affects post-tax returns. Meanwhile, domestic capital seemed to have stepped up substantially, as Indian institutions accounted for 25 per cent of total PE inflows during H1 CY25, up from an average of 11 per cent during 2011–2020. This growth was driven by deeper capital pools, regulatory stability, and maturing investment capabilities. Shishir Baijal, chairman and managing director, Knight Frank India, said: 'The current global economic environment—marked by persistent inflation and tighter monetary conditions—has led many Western funds to take a cautious, wait-and-watch stance, resulting in subdued private equity activity in the real estate sector. In contrast, India's commercial real estate market continues to show strong fundamentals, driven by the return to office, rising absorption levels, and strengthening rental values. Similarly, the residential sector has seen year-on-year growth, and retail consumption remains steady, supported by overall economic momentum.' The Indian warehousing sector saw a sharp pause in H1 CY25, with PE investments marking a 97 per cent Y-o-Y decline to just USD 50 million, down from USD 1.5 billion in H1 CY24. Only one transaction was recorded, highlighting a temporary reassessment of growth expectations in a sector previously dominated by large, platform-level deals. After a prolonged lull of over two years, India's retail real estate sector in H1 CY25 saw equity inflows reaching USD 481 million. The growth was driven by two large transactions, including a stabilised mall acquisition in South India by a listed real estate investment trust (REIT) and another institutional buyout in an eastern metro. 'As macroeconomic conditions in the West begin to ease, we expect global capital flows to return to Indian real estate, further supported by the country's sustained growth and improving regulatory clarity,' Baijal added.

Indian firms lead e-invoicing adoption among 6 major economies: Study

Indian companies lead in e-invoicing adoption and market penetration among businesses surveyed from six countries, including the US and the UK, according to a study. Indian companies reported more than 80 per cent of invoices are received electronically, outpacing the global average of 71.5 per cent, claimed the study of 1,720 businesses across six major markets - the US, the UK, France, Germany, India, and Australia. The study was conducted by tax compliance firm Avalara and the Center for Economics and Business Research (Cebr). It stated that full-scale adoption of e-invoicing by Indian firms could unlock approximately ₹ 32,035.71 crore in annual economic value and save the average Indian business approximately ₹1.09 crore each year driven by productivity gains, reduced fraud, and faster payments. 'India leads globally in e-invoicing adoption and market penetration, with over 80 per cent of invoices received and 70 per cent issued electronically, outpacing the global averages of 71.5 per cent and 68.2 per cent respectively,' the study said. While many of the early benefits of e-invoicing adoption have been absorbed through government mandates under GST—now applicable to businesses with turnover above ₹5 crore—India still recorded the highest global satisfaction rate, with 68 per cent of businesses satisfied and 50 per cent extremely satisfied with e-invoicing's performance, the study said. It also highlighted the need to deepen integration, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and smaller businesses. The average Indian business adopting e-invoicing processes 3,827 invoices per week, one of the highest globally, the study claimed. 'While compliance has improved, broader B2B integration and MSME and SMB inclusion are now critical to realise the full ?32,035.71 crores opportunity. E-invoicing must evolve beyond being a tax compliance requirement into a strategic business enabler,' Anil Paranjape, General Manager, India Operations, Avalara said.
