Trade Creates Data. Data Creates Trade.

International trade is no longer about playing blind and hoping to win. In 2025, hope is not a strategy. How The Dollar Business is ensuring the rules of global commerce are being written in one language – data.

Foreign trade is a phenomenon anchored between the measurable and the unpredictable. Despite much wisdom, each multi-tonne laden cargo vessel that leaves a port carries an equal weight of prayers and hope. A multi-dimensional unpredictability is the biggest challenge that stares at exporters and importers today. The only respite – a large degree of certainty that reliable data has brought.

Welcome to the world of modern global trade, where ‘data is the new capital’ – a world long envisioned by The Dollar Business (TDB).

The Near-Invisible Battle 

In the grand theatre of global business dreams, the plight of MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) naturally plays out as a near-invisible and perpetual battle against the odds. Throw in accurate trade data and you have an equaliser – or so many believe. One of them is Avnish Goyal, Founder & CEO of TDB. He feels this game is built as much for the smaller entities as it is for the MNCs. But only if the biggest differential is cleared – that of real information. “What is making the present and the future tougher for the MSMEs is the large gap in access to information,” says Goyal.

Chaos to Clarity

Enter Ex-im.com – TDB’s core offering and the world’s first unified global trade data platform. Built for entities across all levels and markets, it has won acceptance from thousands of businesses around the world. TDB was built with a vision to erase the very habit of trade hinged on luck and hearsay. It was built to eradicate knowledge-based inequalities that millions of smaller firms face in foreign trade. With Ex-Im, Goyal hopes TDB can give these entities a better shot at trade. 

Intelligence – The New Currency of Trade

Raw, fragmented, noisy pieces of trade data buried in favoured coffers is now available as neatly arranged, trustworthy data insights ‘for all’ with TDB. The central idea is to help the foreign trade community get more efficient, maximise opportunities and minimise risks with data-based insights. “Capital lets you participate. Intelligence helps you win,” is how Goyal justifies this evolving trend in global capitalism.

What is also important is the accuracy of information. One you can rely upon. Nothing less will do when you need to bet on the credibility of an entity sitting halfway around the world. A platform constructed on trustworthy data – that is what TDB takes pride in being. 

In a world where trade is now based on dashboards, TDB allows participants to make informed decisions faster than ever – anywhere, on any device.  TDB’s endeavour? To make precision-based trade data accessible to all. It’s that simple. Yet it signifies something profound. It is globalization done right; transparent and intelligent.
