Exim Routes was originally incorporated as a private limited company with the name of ‘Exim Routes Private Limited’ on April 23, 2019. Subsequently, the company was converted into a public limited company pursuant to a resolution passed by its Shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 07, 2024 and consequently the name of the company was changed to ‘Exim Routes Private Limited’ to ‘Exim Routes Limited’ on October 24, 2024. It operates as a global platform dedicated to facilitating the exchange of recyclable paper product materials, providing end-to-end services to Indian Paper Mills (Mills), ranging from sourcing/procurement of waste paper to quality assurance and logistics wastepaper to mills. To enable these operations, the company has developed the Exim Routes Intelligence System (ERIS), an AI powered B2B digital platform, designed to perform four primary functions.

Firstly, in Supply Chain Operations and Offer Management, the ERIS platform consolidates global inventory data from all its suppliers, demand offers from mills, matching and price discovery, and connects supply and demand by acting as an intermediary, enabling bidding and closing of trades. Secondly, in Customer and Partner Enablement, ERIS supports outbound communication between Exim internal teams, suppliers and customers and facilitates better tracking and wider, faster outreach. Thirdly, in Market Intelligence and Data Layer, ERIS brings together multiple internal and external data points (e.g., pricing and grade quality parameters) to enable insights and better decision making for internal teams and customers. Lastly, in Logistics Integration, ERIS supports logistics execution integrating its global network of logistics partners and freight forwarders - ensuring seamless from order to delivery.

In addition to the revenue generated through the ERIS platform, the company also engages in high-seas sales transactions, acting as an intermediary buyer in the trade of waste paper, which is supplied to Indian paper mills for use as raw material in the production of finished products. Secondly, the company conducts a small volume of domestic trading, which involves purchasing recyclable paper from the domestic Indian market and selling it to local mills. Furthermore, the company provides services to select suppliers and foreign subsidiaries of the company, supporting their operations. Additionally, it offers the sale and subscription of the ERIS platform to a select group of mills.
