M.IQ — Get the certifications right and it's an advantage.
M.IQ (Manufacturing Intelligence) is Gemixx’s operator-backed consulting practice for brands manufacturing in India — strategy, costing, vendor development, quality, compliance, and scale. India's regulatory environment is complex, inconsistent across states, and frequently misunderstood by brands entering for the first time. Getting it wrong delays launches and creates liability. Getting it right is a competitive advantage most brands underestimate.
Complexity that punishes the unprepared.
Getting certifications wrong delays launches, blocks retail placement and creates real liability. Getting them right — in the right sequence, with the right evidence — clears the runway before you need it and becomes an edge competitors have to catch up to.
We manage these obligations continuously across our own multi-city factory network. This is not a compliance memo read once; it is the operating reality we live in, translated into a plan you can execute.
Start a conversationOne country, many rulebooks — and they vary by state.
BIS, FSSAI, CDSCO, BEE and EPR each carry their own registration, testing and reporting requirements. PLI compliance obligations are ongoing and must be managed post-approval. And state-level variation in factory clearances — Factory Act, pollution NOC, fire NOC — is significant and easy to underestimate.
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.
- BIS certification strategy and sequencing
- FSSAI registration and compliance for food and beverage products
- CDSCO compliance for health, beauty and wellness products
- EPR compliance — plastic packaging and e-waste (CPCB)
- Export documentation and country-specific import compliance
- PLI application, management and ongoing compliance obligations
- State-level factory licensing — Factory Act, pollution NOC, fire NOC
