Buddy,
Foremost, you need to form a company or firm. It could be private limited company, or a partnership firm. If its Pvt. Ltd. then you need to get MoU prepared by a legal counsel and then get it registered in Registrar of Companies (ROC) of your state. If its partnership firm (easier option), you need to get a partnership deed prepared and signed by the partners through an advocate, get it registered with ROC. Next step would be to open a bank account in company's name. When account is opened, you need to approach the Directorate General of Foreign Trade of India of your region for obtaining an Import Export Code Number. For Northern India, the registration authority is
Zonal Joint Director General of Foreign Trade
