About Us
Bridging the gap between learning and exporting
The Empire Exporter Academy is an import–export training and business mentorship initiative founded by Mr. Amarnath Andure, an entrepreneur with hands-on experience in international trade, live agricultural exports, overseas project development and global business opportunities. Our mission is to bridge the gap between learning international trade and actually starting an export business.
We provide practical, business-oriented training, one-to-one and group mentorship, export documentation guidance, international market research, buyer communication strategies and overseas trade exhibition delegations. Unlike conventional training programs that focus only on theoretical knowledge, our approach emphasises practical implementation, real-world business exposure and step-by-step guidance.
Through our books, workshops, mentorship programs and international business delegations, we aim to empower students, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, traders, farmers, MSMEs and aspiring exporters across India.
