Who We Are

A focused bridge for Korea-India trade, distribution and exhibitions.

Established in New Delhi, Lim and Kim Impex works around the practical needs of cross-border business: product fit, buyer conversations, import readiness, distribution planning, event support and channel selection.

The company profile is built for partners who need clarity quickly: what the business does, where it operates, who leads it and how Korea-India business opportunities can move toward practical execution.

01

New Delhi Base

A practical office identity for India-Korea trade conversations and market coordination.

02

Wholesale Focus

Built around product movement, distribution planning, trade documentation and partner conversations.

03

Korean Categories

Support for Korean manufacturers, exporters, consumer products, exhibitions and business expansion needs.

Our Role

We turn business ambition into a practical cross-border route.

For a foreign company, India can feel fragmented: documentation, distributors, exhibitions, product expectations, price points and channel strategy all need attention. Lim and Kim Impex uses its local network and Delhi base to organize these moving parts into a clearer operating path.
