ClayShield, a brand of AASRA ENTERPRISE, is an established India based trading, sourcing and distribution company specializing in industrial minerals and selected specialty products for domestic and international markets.
Based in Surat, Gujarat, ClayShield has its roots in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, a region well connected to Gujarat's established mineral and bentonite sourcing ecosystem. Operating in India since 2022, we have established our presence in the domestic market and are now expanding our business with a stronger focus on international sourcing and exports.
These four principles define how we approach every single sourcing opportunity, ensuring end-to-end dependability from deposit to destination.
We first understand the customer's product, application, specifications, quantity, packaging, and destination requirements.
We identify suitable material directly through our network of mines and established manufacturers across India.
We work to align the available material, specifications, and relevant documentation with the requirements agreed for the supply.
We coordinate the commercial, packaging, and export requirements to support a smooth supply process from the source to the customer.
Our objective is not simply to complete a transaction. We aim to build long term B2B sourcing relationships through clear communication, sourcing flexibility and dependable coordination.
We believe effective mineral sourcing starts at the source.
ClayShield works directly with a network of mines and established manufacturers across India, helping bridge the gap between Indian mineral sources and the customer's actual requirement.
Our direct sourcing model gives us better visibility into material availability, specifications, quality requirements and supply planning, while minimizing unnecessary intermediary layers between the original source and the buyer.
This gives us the flexibility to evaluate available material from different sources and identify a suitable option based on the customer's required specifications, application, quantity and commercial requirements.
Mineral deposits can naturally vary across different zones and depths. As mining progresses, the characteristics of the material being extracted may also vary.
For an industrial buyer, access to a mine is important, but having the flexibility to evaluate material from multiple suitable sources can also be valuable when specific product characteristics are required.
Because ClayShield works with a network of mines and manufacturers, we are not restricted to a single source. We evaluate available material across our sourcing network and work toward identifying a product that aligns with the specifications agreed with the customer.
ClayShield is a trading company, but our role goes beyond simply buying and selling products.
We work between Indian mines and manufacturers and the customer's actual requirement, helping translate a technical or commercial requirement into a practical sourcing solution. From understanding the application and product specifications to coordinating samples, technical documentation, packaging, quantities and export supply, we work to make sourcing from India more straightforward for our customers.

Application Note: Product suitability depends on the intended application and required technical parameters. We therefore focus on understanding the customer's requirement before identifying an appropriate sourcing option.
India has a diverse mineral resource base supported by established mining, manufacturing, processing and trading ecosystems.
Our roots in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, together with our corporate operations in Surat, connect us with Gujarat's wider commercial and mineral sourcing environment.
Through our network of mines and manufacturers across India, we can explore sourcing opportunities beyond a single location or supplier and coordinate products for customers in both domestic and international markets.
Today, ClayShield is expanding its international business with a clear focus on B2B export and global sourcing. We work with importers, distributors, manufacturers and industrial users looking to source industrial minerals from India.
