The entire world of textiles followed what India did till that period. The Industrial Revolution spearheaded by Britain in the 18th Century ushered in a radical change in the manufacturing of textiles through mechanization. The leadership changed hands and India took a back seat. The world of textiles, in the recent period has been passing through a newcycle primarily due to relocation of textile industry wherein India and China have emerged as global leaders once more. Many influencing factors favoring India include the significantly enhanced availability of cotton and man-made fibers topped by very conducive national and state textile policies have put India back into a position of a great leap forward. Under the new textile incentive schemes, an investment of over USD 40 billion has already taken place in the last decade and Gujarat alone is expecting to attract an investment of above USD 4 billion in the coming few years. Moreover, looking at Chinas recent controlled and somewhat conservative thrust in investment in Textiles, India would certainly attract additional investments to propel domestic market as well as the International textile trade. Indian textile machinery manufacturing sector, though much late in terms of its entry with modern technological developments, is having a fresh look to re-position itself. Gujarat, being the most happening state today in India that also offer a highly industry-friendly environment turns out to be a natural choice to have a global meet to deliberate the investment opportunities in the rapidly growing textile sector of India. Textile Industry once again is excited and poised for large investment growth leading to appreciable employment opportunity. Diagonal Consulting (India), a Strategic Consulting firmin association with Textile Excellence, a leading textile publication are jointly organizing a global meet on 10th, 11th and 12th December 2014 to explore the huge potential India offers today. Fibers & Textile Industry stalwarts, Strategy Planners, Textile Machinery sector, Policy makers, are all invited to deliberate the way forward for India to achieve a leadership position in the field of Textiles. Conference Chairman: Diagonal Consulting (India), Dr. P. R. ROY, For Sponsorship & Advertisement Opportunity, Contact: Nirav Shah Cell: +91 9909904179, Email: nirav.dci@gmail.com Agenda: The year 2005 was always considered to be a turning point in favour of the Indian textile industry due to abolition of Quota. At the same time, rapid economic changes in the late 90s and the beginning of the new millennium were to grow the domestic textile market significantly. India, in-spite of some inherent advantages could not rise to the occasion to guide the changes in its favor. The present global meet on the backdrop of todays India would like to address the global scenario, strategic issues, shift in the product- market mix, new technologies and their impact on the competitive edge of Indias textile value chain and finally what makes Indian textiles a sustainable proposition. National and state level textile policies are also to be addressed for investors better appreciation and confidence. Speakers Distinguished thought leaders from the Textile industry in India & Overseas, Policy makers, Research & Academia will share their experience and knowledge with the decision makers.
