India–Mexico Trade Corridor: Credlix Launches India Sourcing to Strengthen Bilateral Trade and Financing for Mexican Manufacturers
BUSINESS WIRE)--Credlix, a global fintech platform for cross-border supply chain financing, has announced the launch of its India–Mexico Connect service. This new offering enables Mexican buyers to source industrial products directly from Indian manufacturers via the deep B2B network of Moglix —Credlix's parent company—while accessing seamless, collateral-free trade financing.
This marks the first time an Indian B2B startup is introducing such a service in Mexico, strengthening collaboration between Mexican importers and Indian exporters, and accelerating supply chain diversification for Mexican businesses.
The service was formally introduced at the IndMex Chamber event hosted by the Embassy of India in Mexico on Thursday, June 19, in the presence of H.E. Pankaj Sharma, Ambassador of India to Mexico. Organized by the Trade and Commerce Council of India and Mexico (IndMex), the event convened key stakeholders from business, trade, and diplomacy to foster stronger bilateral ties.
'With the launch of India Sourcing for Mexico, we are enabling a new chapter in India–LATAM trade,' said Rahul Garg, Founder & CEO of Moglix and Credlix. 'As Mexico grows as a nearshoring hub and India expands its manufacturing base, this initiative bridges both supply and capital gaps, creating stronger global value chains.'
Ambassador Dr. Pankaj Sharma, along with Daniel Becker Feldman, CEO of Banco Mifel, emphasized the shift from diplomatic goodwill to concrete business outcomes. Dr. Sharma reiterated the growing momentum in bilateral cooperation and stressed the importance of enabling tangible economic engagement.
Becker Feldman highlighted Mexico's untapped potential in digital finance, noting that 'over half of Mexican transactions remain cash-based,' and praised India's digital payments infrastructure as a model Banco Mifel already leverages.
Through India–Mexico Connect, Mexican buyers can access a wide range of industrial products—including automotive components, engineering goods, chemicals, bulk packaging, textiles, and electronics —from over 20,000 Indian suppliers in the Moglix network. Backed by Credlix's invoice-based export financing, these imports are eligible for up to 90% working capital at the time of shipment, all without collateral.
The platform addresses long-standing challenges such as payment security, sourcing complexity, and limited access to trade finance. By integrating procurement and financing into a digital-first platform, it delivers a frictionless cross-border trade experience.
Aligned with global trends such as China+1 diversification, nearshoring, and Indo-Pacific economic cooperation, this initiative aims to rapidly grow the relatively smaller USD 11 billion trade between India and Mexico, which stands in sharp contrast to Mexico's USD 120 billion trade with China. India–Mexico Connect positions India as a reliable sourcing partner and Credlix as the financial backbone of this evolving trade corridor.

Seattle GM Botterill's Early Moves Help Kraken, But Playoff Hopes Remain Distant
Since the Seattle Kraken announced in late April that longtime NHL executive Jason Botterill would be promoted to be their new GM, the Kraken have been one of the busiest teams on the trade front. Indeed, Seattle has been hard at work under Botterill, acquiring left winger Mason Marchment from the Dallas Stars on June 19 in exchange for a fourth-round pick this summer and a third-rounder in 2026. Then, Botterill dealt veteran left winger Andre Burakovsky to the Chicago Blackhawks for center Joe Veleno. Finally, on Thursday, Botterill acquired center Frederick Gauthier from the Minnesota Wild for a fourth-rounder in this year's draft. All things considered, the Kraken, on paper, appear to be improved. But the question is, by how much? Marchment posted 22 goals and 47 points last season, and we see him as a nifty acquisition. Botterill replaced Burakovsky's offence (10 goals and 37 points) last season with Veleno's modest offense (eight goals and 17 points) in a salary dump that freed up $3.225 million and installed Veleno as a depth forward. And Botterill used the money he saved in the Burakovsky deal to add Gauthier to fill a need on Seattle's fourth line. You can see what Botterill has been trying to do – firm up his secondary forward slots with players who have established themselves to a fair degree. However, the Kraken still don't have much in the way of elite talents to compete with the top teams in the Pacific Division. Sure, Seattle has some high-end assets – centers Matty Beniers and Shane Wright have high expectations on them, but neither have asserted themselves as true top players. For that reason, we still don't see the Kraken as a Stanley Cup playoff team next season. The Pacific has playoff locks in the Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings – and after that, the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks are going to be fighting for a playoff berth in 2025-26. Even the Anaheim Ducks, who finished four standings points ahead of Seattle last season, are looking like they're going to push for a playoff spot. All of that is to say that, even with their multiple changes, the Kraken are going to face an uphill battle to get into the post-season. You have to give Botterill credit for being aggressive and proactive in his moves, but he hasn't come up with the big fish that this Seattle team really needs to make the jump from fringe playoff candidate to certain playoff squad. Botterill has lots of time this off-season to continue remaking his roster, but as it stands, he needs more skill for his team to truly compete with the Pacific's first-rate franchises. Botterill obviously wants his group to be in the mix for a playoff berth next season, but we see his team as still being in the mid to lower tier of the division. And nothing other than significant, marquee-name acquisitions are going to change that.

What is operating leverage? Simple explanation with Indian examples
Operating leverage is one of the most important, yet often misunderstood, financial concepts for Indian investors. If you've ever wondered why some companies see a sharp rise in profits when sales go up, the answer lies in operating leverage. Let's break it down with simple language and Indian business examples. Advertisement What is operating leverage? Operating leverage measures how sensitive a company's operating profit (EBIT) is to a change in sales. In simple terms: High operating leverage = Small increase in sales leads to a big increase in profit Low operating leverage = Profits grow slowly even if sales rise It all depends on a company's fixed costs vs variable costs. Fixed costs vs variable costs – the basics Fixed costs: Expenses that stay constant, no matter how much the company produces or sells. Example: Factory rent for Tata Motors or advertising budget for Hindustan Unilever. Variable costs: Costs that increase as production increases. Example: Raw materials for Marico or packaging costs for Dabur. A company with high fixed costs and low variable costs has high operating leverage. Simple example of operating leverage (using Indian context) Let's say a company like Page Industries (Jockey India) spends heavily on advertising, salaries, and manufacturing infrastructure. These are fixed costs. If sales increase by 20%, profits could jump 50% or more. Why? Because the fixed costs stay the same, and the extra sales mostly go towards profits. On the flip side, if sales fall, profits can drop sharply. Why Indian investors should care about operating leverage Operating leverage helps you predict how profits will move with sales changes. In good times: High operating leverage companies can deliver multi-quarter profit growth. In bad times: These same companies suffer more because their fixed costs remain high. Example: During a consumption slowdown, companies like Titan or Avenue Supermarts (DMart) may face profit pressure if their fixed expenses are not covered by lower sales. How to check a company's operating leverage (quick method) Look at EBIT growth vs Revenue growth over past quarters. If EBIT grows faster than revenue, the company has high operating leverage. Focus on sectors with naturally high operating leverage: Examples include automobiles, FMCG, retail, and capital goods. Final takeaway Understanding operating leverage helps Indian retail investors spot companies that can deliver outsized profit growth during a demand upswing. But remember, it also comes with higher risk during slowdowns. Before investing, always check both revenue trends and fixed cost structures.

Revenue vs Profit: What's the difference and why it matters for Indian businesses
For anyone trying to understand a company's financial health, two terms appear almost everywhere: Revenue and Profit. Many new investors, entrepreneurs, and students often confuse the two. Let's break it down with simple examples relevant to Indian businesses. What is revenue? Revenue (also called Sales or Topline) refers to the total money a company earns by selling its products or services during a specific period. Think of it as: Total income generated before any expenses are deducted. Example: If Dabur India sells personal care products worth Rs 500 crore in one quarter, that Rs 500 crore is its revenue. What is profit? Profit (also called Net Income or Bottomline) is the money left after deducting all expenses, including operating costs, salaries, rent, interest, depreciation, and taxes, from the revenue. In short: Profit = Revenue – Total Expenses Example: If Dabur's total expenses (raw materials, salaries, marketing, taxes) for the same quarter were Rs 400 crore, then: Profit = Rs 500 crore – Rs 400 crore = Rs 100 crore Types of profit in Indian financial statements: Gross Profit:Revenue minus cost of goods sold (COGS). Example: For a restaurant chain like Barbeque Nation, this would mean revenue minus food material costs. Operating Profit (EBIT): Gross profit minus all operating expenses (excluding interest and taxes). Net Profit: Final profit after all expenses, including taxes and interest, are deducted. Why is this important for investors and business owners? Revenue shows scale: High revenue shows a company is selling a lot, but doesn't guarantee profit. Profit shows efficiency: A company with moderate revenue but high profit margins (like Infosys ) may be a more efficient business. Misleading perception: Some startups and new-age tech companies (like Zomato or Paytm) may report high revenue but still run at a loss for years. Quick summary: While Revenue tells you how much money is coming in, Profit tells you how much the company is actually keeping. Understanding both is essential when evaluating any Indian company, whether you're an investor, a student, or a budding entrepreneur.
