Tirupur being India’s largest knitwear cluster, entrepreneurs keep investing in capacity enhancements and technology upgradation on regular basis. With the emerging opportunities and Prime Minister’s call for Atmanirbhar Bharat, our industry is committed to take this cluster forward with further investments. Thus, we need international events and supply chain interactions to achieve these goals.

In the context of present scenario, the DyeChem World Exhibition will help to boost the business, regain the momentum of economic growth again. We are thankful to the organizers of the DyeChem World Exhibition and it will be a great step under the mission ‘Begin Again’. Wishing you a great success!

The global apparel supply chain has faced several challenges in the past decade and the industry has approached these very effectively with various initiatives, involving all stakeholders in the process. Sustainability and transparency are key are areas that need to be addressed. India has stakeholders across the value chain, and thus have ability to meet these challenges successfully. Dye Chem World and the Knit Process Exhibition will bring all stakeholders under one roof and the CEO summit will give the leaders a platform to discuss and plan the roadmap for the coming decade. I am confident Indian entrepreneurs will rise to the occasion and make the most of this fantastic opportunity.

Tirupur holds a very important place in India’s Textile & Apparel exports. Despite the most challenging situations during Covid, Tirupur’s industry could handle the problems most proficiently and have bounced back quickly. A lot of credit goes to the entrepreneurial spirit of the industry owners for their inexorable efforts. Tirupur’s textile cluster will grow rapidly in view of the emerging opportunities due to geopolitical changes that happened post Covid-19. In this backdrop, an exhibition dedicated to knitting and processing in Tirupur is an appreciable effort. The exhibition will create business opportunities and there cannot be a better time to have such an exhibition when the factors are turning positive for India.

Very good initiative by Textile Excellence. Introduction to sustainable technologies, manufacturing processes and industry interactions will further inspire Tirupur’s Knitwear Industry which is set to witness phenomenal growth in coming years.

The CEO Summit is a very good initiative. I hope the event will bring the Think Tanks of the Indian Textile Industry and its value chain all under one roof, to discuss and work closely in collaboration to overcome the impacts of COVID-19. Most importantly, do expect to learn from organizations’ best practices to support our industry’s recovery from the global pandemic.

A world class exhibition would promote entrepreneurship and innovation as well as help adoption of innovative ideas by our industry and its commercialization to stay competitive. I solicit active participation by all industry stakeholders in the events and derive benefit from it.

Tirupur is a very important cluster for India’s export-oriented textile sector. The activities of capacity building and infrastructure improvement along with creating awareness on the best available technologies as well as innovations will certainly boost the industry’s output. SDC EC is committed to provide all the support necessary in facilitating the events planned for this cluster by the stakeholders.
