Dear everyone, I think it is finally safe to say that fashion retail is gradually returning to normalcy after months of sharp contraction in Q1 FY2020-21. All this while, we all have been pinning our hopes on the festive season. As it turns out, the results so far have been quite encouraging. Leading e-tailers have received an overwhelming response during the annual festive sale days, and traditional traders across the country have witnessed sales figures going up by the week. The wedding season and the upcoming holiday season is expected to further provide a fillip to the fashion retail segment, thereby setting the segment firmly on the path to recovery. Although demand and sales are picking up, one thing that we can unanimously agree is that we are still amidst cautious times and that business is not as it used to be. Honestly, I think it is very natural. The pandemic has had a far reaching impact on the consumer and business as a whole, and rebounding from the COVID-19 induced depression and re-calibrating operations back into normalcy could prove to be very challenging.

INDIA'S COTTON ROOTS NEED NOURISHMENT

It thus becomes crucial for the government to improve the artisanal and craftsman skill set through ITI (industrial training institutes) programmes, making the small cotton producers self-sufficient in setting up a small enterprise.
