If you sell fabric or yarn out of Surat, Bhiwandi, or Ichalkaranji, you already know how this goes. A buyer pings you at 11 PM wanting 500 meters of georgette.

Someone shouting a design number across the shop floor. And somewhere in that noise, an order gets written down wrong. That’s not a small problem. In the … Read more
Last month, a fabric manufacturer in Bhiwandi called me in a mild panic. He’d installed a shiny ERP suite built for garment factories, expecting it to fix his retail counter chaos too. It didn’t. His shop staff were still scribbling orders on a register while his factory floor ran smooth production schedules on the new … Read more
Walk into any fabric market in Surat, from Ring Road to Sahara Darwaja, and you’ll see the same scene. A trader on the phone, a register open on the counter, and three WhatsApp chats pinging at once.
