Dear Vineet,
I don't agree you to hire Indenting Agent or Buying Agent. You may deal with the supplier/manufacturer directly. E-communication strongly is useful.

Indenting Agent is the one who acts on behalf of the seller and charges commission to sell their products.
Where as Buying Agent is the one who acts on behalf of the buyer and charges commission to source products for them.

I think it's better to find out manufacturers, you know, more and more manufacturers can offer good services when they offering better prices.
