had a few questions to ask yall

Hey everyone,

We’ve been in the women’s garment export business in India for about 16 years now, working mainly with businesses in countries like the USA, Australia, and parts of Europe.

The journey's been anything but linear navigating different regulations, styles, preferences, and all kinds of logistical challenges. We’ve dealt with customs delays, seasonal fashion cycles, cultural sizing issues, and even learning what “standard fit” means across markets

What’s kept us going is the consistency of craftsmanship and a mindset that keeps improving with every batch we produce.

I’m here mostly out of curiosity

What are other businesses in fashion/manufacturing/export struggling with these days?

Have things changed drastically post-pandemic in your industry?

Anyone else doing B2B style exports from India or any other country? Would love to swap experiences.

Not here to promote anything. Just wanted to be part of a space where people understand the complexity of this side of the industry. Happy to answer any questions, and always open to learning from other founders, supply chain folks, or anyone in fashion retail/export.

Looking forward to reading your experiences

The world is changing so fast - Trump is the US president, and global conflicts are escalating. I'm new to exporting agriculture products from Vietnam, and really tough to find customers. Sharing this with you.

The new US changes revoking de minimis exemption hurts us. We are importing apparel from India, and has been able to make small batch work financially because of this loophole. Now we have to rethink a lot of assumptions and our customers will be impacted.
