About SST Groups

Two families.
One vision.

SST Groups was founded in California as the US entity connecting the world's best-certified suppliers to the fastest-growing markets in Asia — built on four decades of Indian packaging expertise and a decade of US technology experience.

SST Groups is named for the three Sharma family members who built it — all rooted in technology, spanning California and Kolkata across two generations. The "T" stands for Technology — a deliberate signal that this is not a traditional trading house, but a data-driven, compliance-first distribution business.

The company operates through a close strategic alliance with Mayur Group India — a 45-year-old packaging conglomerate in Kolkata — bringing together US business standards and accountability with one of India's most established packaging infrastructures.

The result is a business that can walk into a US supplier's office, understand their compliance documentation and risk concerns, and then walk into an Indian pharmaceutical company's procurement meeting with equal fluency.

The Opportunity

1.5 billion people.
One supply chain gap.

India is not one market — it is several converging revolutions happening simultaneously. As India manufactures more and exports more, every product touching a global market must meet the standard.

Pharmaceutical Packaging

India is the world's third-largest pharma producer and leading generic drug exporter — supplying 40% of all US generic prescriptions. Every product shipped to the US or EU requires FDA and EU-compliant moisture protection.

Certified desiccants command a 3–5× premium over uncertified alternatives.
350M+

Middle Class & E-Commerce

Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and Jio Mart serve hundreds of millions of consumers. Food delivery giants Zomato and Swiggy process millions of daily orders. IKEA, Walmart, Nestlé, and Unilever mandate FSC and ISO-compliant packaging.

This is where volume comes from.
65%

Rural India — The Next Wave

65% of India's 1.5 billion people live in rural areas — historically not using packaged products. Jio's mobile internet connected 700M+ Indians. Meesho brought 140M rural shoppers online. The infrastructure is built.

This is a structural shift, not a trend, and it is still in its first decade.

Indian Food Exports

India is the world's largest basmati rice exporter, top-3 spice exporter, and a major supplier of lentils, pulses, tea, and seafood. Every shipment entering the US or EU must meet strict moisture and contamination standards.

The desiccant inside the packaging protects an entire export industry from compliance failures.
$20B+

Electronics — Made in India

Apple manufactures iPhones in Tamil Nadu. Samsung, Foxconn, and 200+ global brands are expanding under the PLI scheme. Every circuit board and finished device is moisture-sensitive during production, storage, and shipping.

This is one of the fastest-growing packaging demand segments in the country.
$900M+

Industrial & Defence

India's steel, automotive, and defence sectors consume millions of certified desiccant units annually. DRDO, HAL, and BEL require Mil-Spec certified desiccants. A $1.4 trillion infrastructure spend is underway.

Industrial packaging demand across India's manufacturing belt is at a multi-decade high.
🌍
Good for the Planet
The Common Thread

As India grows, every product touching a global market must meet the standard.

The desiccant inside the package is often the single component that determines whether a shipment passes or fails inspection. Meeting these standards is not just compliance — it is about protecting livelihoods, reducing waste, and building trusted global supply chains. SST Groups makes that seamless — from a supplier's facility to a shelf or hospital anywhere in India. Start a Conversation →
