More and more entrepreneurs are taking to e-commerce in the fast changing ecosystem for moving to the next level of growth. The B2B marketplaces have written more success stories than any other global commercial channel today.
 
Kevin Power Solutions is one such enterprise which owes its resounding success to Alibaba.com, world's largest B2B marketplace. “We were groping in dark for years after the launching of our enterprise in 2004 in the domain of electronics, power back up solutions and solar photo voltaic systems,” says the company Director Nivesh Chauhan and continues, “even though we were confident that our solutions were technologically advanced, we were looking for some good online portals that will help us to find genuine buyers in markets abroad.”
 
Within a short span of 6 years they have achieved an incredible feat and today Kevin is one of the fastest growing companies in the power backup solutions sector in India. However accomplishing this has not been an easy task for them.

Nivesh conducted a thorough research to find the best tools available to market his products. Alibaba.com showed up as the No.1 B2B online trading portal, and Nivesh believed that th portal will be a useful tool for their business. He went on to register Kevin Power Solutions with Alibaba.com. This was in 2008. They have since experienced significant growth in their business and, today, their technology is well-known and accepted across the globe.
 
Built with the motive of quality, innovation and challenge, Kevin Power Solutions focuses on the development and manufacturing of a range of products that touch lives and improve lifestyles. “Our product bouquet includes Power Backup Systems, Solar Photo Voltaic ( SPV) systems and home appliances like Air Conditioners, LCD TVs & Water Purifiers, with some more in the pipeline. Our products are really a class apart because of our very innovative designs, exceptional quality and enduring craftsmanship”, says Nivesh on a note of confidence.
 
Before joining Alibaba.com, they relied on their distribution network and the internet to find trade leads which proved to be a time-consuming and expensive exercise. No wonder, they met dead ends as grunine buyers eluded them all through.
 
Today they supply their products and expertise not only to home markets but also overseas such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, other Middle Eastern countries and also Africa. Kevin Power Solutions receives about 200-250 inquiries every month from Alibaba.com alone. To explore newer avenues and for better global exposure they also attend trade fairs, trade shows and other events.
 
Kevin Power Solutions is one of the thousands of Indian enterprises which have experienced Alibaba.com's prowess not just in providing access to newer markets, but also in the portal's ability to provide current industry trends. “Alibaba.com acts like a one-stop-shop for our buyers to get all the relevant information they need. We have our own showroom online, where my buyers can browse through our unique product designs and determine what best suits their needs,” Nivesh explains.
