Over the last two decades, have backed commercial, Prêt-à -Porter fashion brands, labels under Sun International with ethical manufacturing and designing services by providing superior quality knitted apparel & knitted accessories. As well as handmade fabrics for home furnishings & apparels sector.
My passion for product development helped convert this critical segment of knitted apparel and soft furnishings (made from handmade fabrics) from unorganized to organized sector. Making it not only commercially viable but ensuring timely project completion with all testing parameters in consideration.
My mantra of fair dealing, in-depth knowledge of yarns & knitting techniques, quality-conscious manufacturing and full transparency has connected me with various renowned brands including UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON, LIFESTYLE in the domestic segment and ANTHROPOLOGIE, SEALAND, MARK LAUGE, GREEN COTTON, GOCCO, ROCLAN, etc. in the international arena.
Then, in 2019, a pandemic happened, and I had to take a step back to face the situation.
After recognizing extensive hoardings, black marketing, a sheer demand, and supply gap, I made it a point to contribute to the supply by creating disposable surgical & N95 and cotton reusable masks, keeping all precautions & controlled production conditions with the right specifications, using fabrics & materials which are of specified specifications and approved by respective certified labs, with like-minded entrepreneurs.
Pandemic was seen as a low point in their lives by everyone, but I found it as a corrective action period, an era of realization & enlightenment. It provided me with an opportunity to build a community, take new initiatives & risks, and join hands to serve the community at large with various initiatives.
One such initiative was, Airlit, where I made it a point to help Indian tribal artists to face the heat of the pandemic. This unprecedented time provided me an opportunity to learn more about our historical and tribal art forms and manufactured products with an aim to highlight artistry and uplift artists by providing them with business opportunities and visibility.
