The online business segment has indefinitely made a place for itself today, the impact of which makes itself felt across many disciplines, Garments being one of them. Keeping oneself equipped with the latest trends and networking with relevant people from the Industry has now become a must. This Session, hence, helps us to be on par with the overall Apparel Industry. MITESH SISODIYA, CROSS 36 I APPAREL I Today, Brands are increasingly moving away from traditional concepts of conducting business, to adopt quicker modes of functioning, including e-commerce. So participating in the Business Networking Session will undoubtedly help us to reach a larger audience body. Developing a solid trading network takes years but those who start now can bear its fruit in the future. Meeting and interacting with Agents and Distributors provides the business with a much-needed push. In one way or another, these Agents are connected to various Buyers all over India. We meet them, exchange visiting cards, and display our products to them. They, in turn, reach out to us when a client is on the lookout for products similar to ours or those that are in sync with our Brand profile. We predominantly cater to clients that reside along the belt of North India. This Session, hence, puts us in touch with the right people to fetch our Brand more visibility.
