Data Strategy
How to Choose a Mumbai Database Provider
By B2B DataMart · Published · 15 min read
What to look for in a Mumbai database provider
Mumbai has many data sellers, and quality varies widely. Some sell old or scraped lists that bounce heavily and can damage your sending domain. Before you buy a Mumbai business database, check the points below.
Questions to ask any provider
- When was the file last updated? A provider should state a date, not just say "fresh".
- Where does the data come from? Directories, registries, exhibitor lists and company websites are different things; ask which apply to the list you are buying.
- Can you see a real sample? A sample of actual rows shows you the fields, the formatting and the obvious errors.
- What happens if the list bounces? Look for a written replacement or credit policy with a stated threshold and time window.
- Are the contacts named people? A generic info@ address is much less useful than a named contact with a designation.
- Can the list be segmented? For example by industrial area, industry or turnover, if you need that.
Price versus quality
Very cheap lists, such as millions of emails for a few hundred rupees, are almost always low quality. A higher price does not guarantee quality either, so judge on the answers above and on a sample.
