Walmart, the global retail giant, has been steadily increasing its sourcing and spending in India since first announcing plans three years ago. Initially, India accounted for approximately $3 billion in exports for Walmart. The company recognized India’s potential as a global manufacturing hub, endorsing its growth in various sectors.

The initiative aimed to establish new suppliers for Walmart in diverse categories, including food, pharmaceuticals, consumables, health products, apparel, homeware, and other key export areas from India. This move came after Walmart’s significant 2018 investment in the Indian e-commerce platform Flipkart and the launch of the Walmart Vriddhi supplier development program in India.

Doug McMillon, CEO and President of Walmart, noted at a supplier event in India in May that the company is on track to achieve its target of $10 billion in annual exports from India by 2027, as reported by local media.

One notable collaboration involves Hero Ecotech, India’s largest exporter of bicycles, which has designed a cruiser-style bike for Walmart. Notably, 90% of the raw materials used in this product are sourced from India, reflecting Walmart’s commitment to leveraging Indian manufacturing capabilities.

Andrea Albright, Walmart’s Executive Vice President of Sourcing, commented on the partnership, highlighting its role in strengthening the resilience of the company’s global supply chain and contributing to economic growth worldwide.

Walmart’s focus on India is part of a broader trend among retailers and manufacturers to diversify their supply chains. Several companies are reducing their reliance on China and exploring new sourcing options. For instance, telecommunications firm Cisco announced plans to start manufacturing in India to diversify its supply chain. Similarly, electronics giant Foxconn, a significant supplier to Apple, has also invested in India. Additionally, discount retailer Five Below recently established a sourcing office in India to build connections with local suppliers.
