Build your ecommerce business right — Amazon seller setup, D2C brand launch, marketplace compliance, GST, trademark, and FSSAI. Suntew guides Mangalore entrepreneurs through the complete ecommerce launch process.
Mangalore has a significant and growing ecommerce opportunity — cashew processors, spice brands, seafood products, artisanal foods, handicrafts, and garment businesses all have strong potential to reach customers across India and internationally. But the compliance requirements for ecommerce are more complex than for offline businesses: GST is mandatory regardless of turnover for marketplace sellers, FSSAI is required for any food product before it can be listed on Amazon or Flipkart, and brand protection through trademark is essential before you invest in building an Amazon seller account or D2C website.
Suntew Business Solutions has guided ecommerce sellers and D2C founders across Mangalore and Karnataka through the legal, compliance, and strategic steps of building an online business. From a Mangalore cashew processor setting up an Amazon seller account to a home baker launching a D2C website to a garment trader from Hampi starting on Meesho — we understand the specific compliance requirements for different product categories and the order in which things need to happen to avoid expensive mistakes.

Are you selling on Amazon or Flipkart as a third-party seller? Building a D2C brand website? Exporting to international marketplaces? Launching a food delivery app on Swiggy? Each model has different compliance requirements. Suntew assesses your specific model and maps the exact registrations and compliance steps you need.
For ecommerce, Suntew recommends at minimum registering as a sole proprietorship or OPC before onboarding on marketplaces — a business registration gives you access to a current bank account with better payment gateway options, and makes the business more credible when dealing with suppliers. For serious D2C brands, Private Limited registration is the right choice from day one.
GST registration is mandatory to sell on Amazon India, Flipkart, Meesho, and all major Indian marketplaces — even if your turnover is below the ₹40 lakh threshold. Suntew registers your GST with the correct HSN codes for your products, ensuring correct tax treatment and avoiding compliance issues at the time of marketplace settlement.
If you are selling food products — including health supplements, packaged foods, spices, dry fruits, or beverages — FSSAI registration or license is mandatory before your products can be listed on Amazon, Flipkart, or BigBasket. Suntew handles FSSAI alongside your GST to ensure both are ready before you onboard with the marketplace.
Protecting your brand on Amazon, Flipkart, and Swiggy requires trademark registration. Amazon Brand Registry — which prevents other sellers from hijacking your listings — is only available to brands with a registered trademark. Suntew files your trademark at the time of business launch so your brand is protected from competitors on day one.
If you plan to sell to international customers through Amazon Global Selling, Etsy, eBay, or your own international website, you need an Import Export Code (IEC). Suntew registers your IEC code alongside your other registrations for export-focused ecommerce businesses.
Amazon Brand Registry — which prevents listing hijacking — requires a registered trademark. File early so your brand is protected from the day you go live.
Mandatory for selling any food, health supplement, or beverage on Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, or Zomato. Suntew handles FSSAI alongside your ecommerce setup.
