India's cross-border commerce story is no longer limited to large exporters or multinational corporations. Today, digitally native brands, homegrown manufacturers, and e-commerce entrepreneurs are taking Indian products to consumers across the globe, transforming the country into a powerhouse of global trade. As this momentum accelerates, a new platform aims to celebrate the businesses making it happen: the Payoneer India Cross-Border Excellence Awards 2026 , launched in association with The Economic Times.
The awards arrive at a pivotal moment. India's services exports reached a record $387.6 billion in FY2025, while the government has outlined an ambitious target of $2 trillion in total exports by 2030-31. At the same time, India's e-commerce exports are projected to grow to $200-300 billion by 2030, reflecting the increasing global appetite for Indian products and services.
