With buyers based in remote locations, accessing prospective suppliers' credentials has so far been a daunting task.

Commenting on the exclusive service, Mr. Dinesh Agarwal, Founder & CEO, IndiaMART.com said, "Based on the premises that globally many buyers are apprehensive to do transactions with small businesses due to non-verification of their background and qualification, we are proud to bring out the service 'Video Profiles' which provides an optimal solution to this quandary.
