Manufacturing - Operations
It starts with making samples
and would be shared through
the different channels to
potential vendors (White Label &
MBOs) We would build an
inventory for the readymade
products for the store.

This is one of the first steps
which includes company
registration, formalities, as well
as building a website & social

day one and a brand consistency
would be maintained through
the brands life cycles. Marketing
activities would be an ongoing
process considering the brand &

There would be a total of 4 sales
channels; While Label, Brand
Stores, MBOs & Online; these
would be initiated in the above
order one after another over the
first year.
Systems & Processes

backbone and we believe in
having them in place from day
one. These would include an
integrated Inventory, CRM &
accounting system all in one.
Target Audience
While Labelling – Large chain of
stores who deal in sarees.
In-store & online – These would
need a through B2C strategy by
itself.

traditional wear and sarees. 11
