Right from India’s apparel export nosediving by 59 per cent in the second largest market UAE, implementation of lean into various hubs to
layoff at large scale…, Apparel Online had few interesting industry observations during 2018. Some of them are given below:
AO OBSERVATION
March 1-15
May 1-15
‘SADH’ – A GROWING COMMUNITY IN
THE TEXTILE BUSINESS Kolkata and Ludhiana leveraging from
lean implementation
Ayan (L) and Sanya Sadh of
Ayan Collection
“Our community is into this business
from a long time and we are carrying
forward the same.” POOJA MAKHIJA VIVEK LAKRA
“We are focusing on
replacing the factory
management techniques
of yesterday with more
efficient methods that
greatly minimise waste,
reduce costs, lead time
and improve quality,
bringing in maximum
value to the customers.” “Once our lean
implementation is complete,
we will be able to produce
20,000 pieces per day while
earlier we were producing
12,000 pieces per day. Our
space, infrastructure and
manpower is same but
the only difference is lean
implementation. Gayan’s team
is pioneer in the operations
and systems, so they are
teaching the best of the
operations and systems which
are happening in Sri Lanka
and China these days…”
Sandeep Sadh,
Saar International Exports, Noida
“We left Farrukhabad because it was
not easy to grow in exports from there.
Most of the Sadh community are based
in Delhi and just 20 per cent are still
in Farrukhabad. There is no significant
textile business left there.”
Director of Fashion Futures
Desh Deepak Sadh, Selfi Wear,
Delhi/Sadh Sons, Farrukhabad
“It was during 1995-96 when
Surat started its domination
in value addition and bulk
business, due to which the
printing business of Farrukhabad
faced pressure. When some
of the printing experts took a
plunge and achieved success
in export business, many
others started moving away
from Farrukhabad and slowly
established themselves in other
parts of the country.”
