MIND TREE
partnerships are already
there and the industry is
moving in the right direction
in this regard. Buying offices
are doing their job well as
mediators, and they are
cordial enough. I must say,
if someone is not doing
something wrong, why and
what will he hide. We respect
each other and things should
move in this way only if proper
cooperation is there from
each side. Buyers’ claim for
transparent collaborations
and growing partnerships
between buying offices and
suppliers is natural and should
increase if there is some scope
for improvement.

Things were already in the
open from the stake holders’
side earlier also, but now the
scenario is improving all the
more. One can’t work if things
are not in open. With the
changing conditions globally,
buyers compare each and
every aspect in global
perspective, no matter
how small or how big is that
particular aspect. It will
naturally have its impact
on which demand has more
transparent collaborations
and partnerships, not only
between buying offices
and suppliers, even all other
processes of the business.
NEXT MINDTREE QUESTION
It’s more than 20 days since the implementation of GST in India. The Government is doing its best to
create awareness about all the aspects of GST. Most from the apparels and textiles industry had earlier
stated that things will become clearer with its implementation. Based on what you have noticed so far,
have your doubts been cleared till now? Have you seen positive impact, like less logistic time or smooth
movement of goods due to the abolishment of various check posts? Is there any other thing that, in your
opinion, is positive about GST? Please share…
Without generalizing the
issue, I will say that some
companies do have their
different working strategies,
so it depends on company
to company as to how open
and how collaborative
they are. At the end of the
day, buying offices have to
justify their sourcing and for
that, they will go to the best
factories who will serve their
purpose. One can’t be the
best without being open or
fully transparent.
