Editorial Policy
How Swadeshi Outlet creates trustworthy content about Indian products, brands and sellers.
Our mission
Swadeshi Outlet is a discovery directory — not a store. Our editorial team writes guides that help buyers find verified Indian sellers, understand product origin, and shop responsibly. We believe transparent, well-sourced content builds trust in the Made-in-India ecosystem.
What we publish
- Buying guides — how to verify origin, read labels, and compare sellers
- Brand and craft stories — context on Indian manufacturing, artisans and regional traditions
- Seller discovery tips — how to use enquiries, reviews and distribution lines on our platform
- Policy explainers — what "Made in India" means as a discovery filter, not a legal certification
How we research
Articles are based on publicly available information, seller-submitted profiles, product listing fields (origin city, state, manufacturer), and industry-standard practices. We do not claim to certify products — we help buyers ask better questions before purchasing from a seller's own website or marketplace.
Independence
Editorial content is not sponsored. Sellers cannot pay for favourable coverage. Product examples in articles may link to listings on Swadeshi Outlet when relevant, but inclusion is editorial, not paid placement.
Updates and corrections
We date-stamp articles and update them when marketplace practices, regulations or platform features change. Material corrections are noted in the article's updated date. If you spot an error, please contact us.
EEAT standards
We follow Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness principles:
- Experience — our team works directly with Indian seller onboarding and buyer enquiries
- Expertise — authors specialise in Indian retail, craft and supply-chain topics
- Authoritativeness — content is structured with schema markup, FAQs and clear sourcing
- Trustworthiness — we disclose that Swadeshi Outlet does not process checkout or payments
