GeM portal training
45+ workshops delivered to MSMEs, OEM teams and trade bodies. No slideware: we work inside the live portal, on your own categories, with your own documents.
Who it's for
Brand approvals, vendor assessment and the OEM panel — the parts resellers never touch.
Catalogue discipline, price positioning and where the MSME exemptions do and do not reach you.
Service listings work differently from goods. Manpower, AMC and consultancy categories are covered directly.
Registration done once, correctly, plus the exemptions that make early bids winnable.
The people who actually run the account day to day — screening, drafting, submitting, following up.
Sales, accounts and compliance staff who need a shared vocabulary for how GeM orders arrive.
Formats
For first-time sellers and small teams. Registration, catalogue, first bid and compliance basics, worked end to end on the live portal.
For sellers already registered who lose bids on technicalities. Eligibility screening, ATC response, pricing and reverse auction strategy.
Delivered at your office on your own categories and account, for sales, tender and compliance teams together.
Open-batch seats are booked and paid online; GST is added at checkout and shown before you pay. The intensive and in-house sessions are quoted on scope — tell us your team size and categories and we'll come back with a figure.
Curriculum
The structure of the portal, who buys on it, and the three routes an order can reach you by.
Getting registered without the halfway abandonment that catches most first-timers.
The settings that decide whether buyers trust you and which categories you can reach.
Listings that survive approval and then actually surface in a buyer search.
Services behave differently from goods at almost every step.
A go / no-go decision in ten minutes, so effort goes only where it can win.
Assembling and submitting a compliant bid without a last-minute scramble.
Where most sellers either lose the order or win one they cannot deliver profitably.
Everything between winning the order and being entitled to be paid.
How government money actually reaches your account, and what stalls it.
One unresolved incident can freeze an otherwise healthy account.
The approvals that unlock categories, and the data that tells you where to aim next.
Outcomes
Your trainer
Public procurement consultant · GeM · IREPS · CPPP · State portals
Fifteen years inside public procurement — first as a procurement head at an MNC writing the specifications and evaluating the bids, now advising the other side of the table. She has run 45+ workshops for MSMEs, OEM teams and trade bodies, and advises government and PSU buyer teams on their own procurement.
Every session is taught on the live portal by the person who does this work for clients daily — not by a trainer reading someone else's deck.

In their words
Kanika walked us through listing to bid participation without a single jargon-filled email. We understood every step, which is rare with consultants.
We were completely new to government tenders. They audited our documents, fixed three mismatches we did not know about, and we won our first GeM order in eleven weeks.
Cleared vendor assessment on the first attempt after two failed tries on our own. The mock walkthrough was worth the whole fee.
Questions
No. GeM Essentials assumes no prior experience — it starts at what GeM is and how an order reaches you. The Bidding intensive is the one that assumes you are already registered.
Both. Open batches run in New Delhi with an online option for the same session, and in-house training is delivered at your office. Online attendees see the same live portal share, not slides.
The live portal, throughout. Where possible we work on your own account and categories, so what you practise in the session is the work waiting on your own account.
Yes, a certificate of completion for every participant. It is a record of training attended — it is not a government or GeM credential, and no training provider can issue one of those.
You leave with the handbook, the templates and a written gap list for your own account, plus one follow-up doubt-clearing call within 30 days.
That is what the in-house format is for — up to 25 people, at your office, built around your actual account and product categories.
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Training makes your bids compliant and competitive and stops you losing on technicalities. Awards are decided by buyers.
Fifteen seats, booked and paid online. Or tell us your team size and we'll quote an in-house session on your own categories.
