(260911) -- YIWU, Sept. 11, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Indian entrepreneur Tanmay Gokani (R) is pictured with his son at a park in Yiwu City, east China's Zhejiang Province, Aug. 17, 2026. Coming to China in 2002, Tanmay Gokani worked at a Hong Kong firm's Shenzhen office before shifting his focus to Yiwu in east China's Zhejiang Province. To fund his startup venture between 2009 and 2011, Gokani scouted markets for suppliers by day and taught English after work. The Indian entrepreneur registered his consumer goods trading company in 2009. Rich in goods and warm-hearted people, Yiwu left a strong first impression on Gokani. Because of his business, Gokani has traveled to many countries and met people from all walks of life. Of all the places he has visited, Gokani said Yiwu is one of the friendliest places he has encountered for businesspeople from abroad. Now home to the world's largest small-commodity wholesale market, Yiwu hosts over 38,000 permanent foreign merchants and more than 10,000 foreign-funded enterprises. It has over 1.26 million business entities and supports employment for more than 32 million people. A key symbol of China's reform and opening-up, it has upgraded from a low-cost bulk trading hub into a digital marketplace where technology, branding and data match industrial scale in importance. Gokani stressed China's ultra-efficient supply chain, further empowered by AI, as its core advantage. He offered a striking example of an Indian client who confirmed a glass bowl order on a Saturday, with complete samples and quotation sheets ready the following Monday, and full shipments delivered by the month's end. Now, Gokani's firm ships 100 to 200 forty-foot containers yearly across thousands of products, with 90 percent of exports going to India, mostly ornaments and daily-use goods such as stationery, toys, hardware and other product categories, and the rest to the United States and Africa. For Gokani, life in Yiwu extends far beyond business. He often calls Yiwu his "adopted hometown." Gokani learned Chinese by watching Chinese movies and communicating with Chinese people. In 2015, he met his wife. After they got married, the family settled in Yiwu, where his son now attends school. Gokani also assists foreign residents' integration by facilitating international students' enrollment and joining multicultural festival activities, such as traditional sticky rice food zongzi-making for China's Dragon Boat Festival.
