The 8-Point Vendor Checklist

โœ… 1. Proven Indian Deployments

Ask for case studies from your industry and city tier. Offshore experience doesn't equal Indian SME expertise.

โœ… 2. No-Lock-in Pricing

Avoid vendors who demand 3-year contracts before proof of value. Insist on pilot-first models.

โœ… 3. Domain Knowledge

Your partner should understand your industry's compliance, workflows, and seasonal patterns โ€” not just generic RPA.

โœ… 4. Post-Go-Live Support

AI systems drift. Ensure SLA-backed monitoring, retraining schedules, and local support teams.

โœ… 5. Data Security & Compliance

Check for ISO 27001, DPDPA readiness, and on-premise deployment options for sensitive data.

โœ… 6. Measurable KPIs

Any partner worth hiring will agree on specific KPIs โ€” cycle time, error rate, cost โ€” before the project starts.

โœ… 7. Vernacular & Local Support

Can they support your team in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, or Marathi? Local language support matters for adoption.

โœ… 8. Transparent Roadmap

You should see a phased delivery plan with milestones, not a vague "we'll figure it out" approach.
