 INTRODUCTION

In our exploration, we're embarking on a dual-phase research journey.

Initially, we conduct thorough secondary research to grasp prevailing
market trends, pricing structures, and key industry players in
targeted segments. Subsequently, we transition to primary research
in Ahmedabad, aiming to glean insights directly from manufacturers,
suppliers, and artisans involved in shirting fabric, Kutchhi shawls and
buttons production. Our focus extends to identifying prominent
manufacturing companies driving India's fabric, Kutchhi shawls and
trim sectors, offering a comprehensive guide to sourcing fabric and
understanding cost dynamics.
