M.IQ — Where you make it decides everything after.
M.IQ (Manufacturing Intelligence) is Gemixx’s operator-backed consulting practice for brands manufacturing in India — strategy, costing, vendor development, quality, compliance, and scale. The first and most consequential layer of manufacturing intelligence. Where you produce, how you structure the relationship, and how you enter India shape every cost and quality outcome that follows.
The decisions most brands make by accident.
Where you manufacture, how you structure the relationship, what you own versus outsource, and how you enter the Indian market are the decisions that quietly govern everything downstream. Most brands make them reactively, under deadline pressure. We make them deliberately.
We have made these calls for our own factory network since 1982 — metalware in Moradabad, ceramics in Khurja, glass in Firozabad, carved wood in Saharanpur, with quality control and packaging in Noida. That is the difference between advice drawn from a deck and advice drawn from a decade of running the floor behind demanding global brands.
Start a conversationIndia entry is not one market — it is fourteen.
PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes across 14 sectors have materially changed India's manufacturing economics. SEZ versus non-SEZ structuring, state-level incentive comparison, and cluster selection each require specific operator knowledge that generic consultants simply do not carry.
Our edge is operator intelligence. Gemixx Exports has run a multi-city factory network in India since 1982 — brass and copper in Moradabad, ceramics in Khurja, glass in Firozabad, carved wood in Saharanpur, with quality control and packaging in Noida, coordinated from our New Delhi HQ. M.IQ is backed by the operational intelligence of actually running those factories behind demanding global brands. We are operators, not consultants.
The work, in specifics.
Every engagement in this domain is grounded in the same operational reality we manage on our own floors. Here is what we track and address for you.
- India manufacturing cluster selection by category — Tirupur, Baddi, Morbi, Bhiwandi, Greater Noida
- China+1 supply-chain diversification and sequencing
- PLI scheme eligibility and application support
- SEZ versus non-SEZ structuring and state incentive comparison
- Make-vs-buy analysis for every component and process
- Factory acquisition, JV and equity-stake advisory
- Entity structure for India operations
