Buyer Trust Governance
Evidence & Transparency Policy
We do not publish fabricated testimonials, invented case studies or artificial authority claims. This page defines exactly what is verified now and what will be published only after real shipment history exists.
Published and Verifiable Now
Current Evidence
- Business registrations and verification path (IEC, APEDA, FSSAI, GST, Udyam, trademark).
- Product catalogue, grade references and specification-oriented buyer guides.
- Destination-focused sourcing pages and documentation process explainers.
- Buyer proof framework (pre-quote, pre-payment and pre-dispatch checkpoints).
To Be Added with Real Transactions
Pending Evidence
- Buyer testimonials (only with buyer consent).
- Order-linked case studies with real timeline and quantity ranges.
- Real operational photographs from packing, inspection, sample dispatch or shipment preparation — only when captured from actual ShankuChakra work.
- Third-party trade references and partner citations where permission is granted.
- Outcome metrics such as repeat-order intervals and sample-to-order conversion patterns.
Where to Start Buyer Verification
Begin with Buyer Proof Center, then confirm registrations via verified exporter credentials and complete onboarding using the importer checklist.
Why we publish this policy
- Trust claims are easy to fake
- Testimonials, case studies and photographs can all be invented. Buyers have learned to discount them, so we state plainly which evidence exists today and which does not.
- A young export record should say so
- A business that is building its shipment history should not present borrowed credibility. The registrations on this site are verifiable now; the shipment evidence will be published when it exists.
- It protects buyers from over-reading the site
- A registration shows that a business is licensed to operate. It does not show how a particular lot will perform. This policy keeps those two things separate.
How a claim gets onto the site
- Registrations
- Published only with the number and issuing authority, so each can be checked against the official source.
- Testimonials and case studies
- Published only with the buyer's consent and only for real orders. Where details are shared, they reflect the actual order.
- Photographs
- Operational photographs are published only when taken from real packing, inspection or shipment work.
- Product specifications
- Stated as typical ranges and confirmed per lot at enquiry. They are not guarantees.
How you can check a claim yourself
- Look up the registration numbers
- Take each number from the verification page and check it with the issuing authority, not with us. Compare the name and address.
- Ask for the numbers used on shipment documents
- The numbers on an invoice should match the ones published. A mismatch is worth asking about.
- Request a reference sample against your specification
- A sample tested to your limits is stronger evidence than any page on this site.
