Peppermint Clothing which was earlier known as Crystal Apparels started with a humble beginning in the year 1985 as a job worker. However, determination and constant persuasion to make a mark in the apparel sector through its high-quality products, wide range, and updated technology helped the company in achieving new benchmarks within a few years. Peppermint manufactures fashionable readymade garments for the girls in the age group of 1 to 15 years and has the capacity of manufacturing up to 1.25 lakh garments per month. Now with an annual turnover of around Rs 100 crores; presence in 1000+ multi-brand outlets (MBOs); 250+ ShopIn-Shop stores, e-commerce websites and exclusive Peppermint Stores the company has come a long way and is still growing. In an exclusive tete-etete with kamlesh katariya, Director, peppermint Clothing p. Ltd we came across an interesting journey of the company that started with just four manual pedal sewing machines. The group has been conferred with “Best Brand – Kids Wear Category” by Shoppers Stop for three years and has also won the APEX award from CMAI in 2018.

Indian Manmade Fibre (MMF) Industry In Jeopardy: Increased Imports And Esclated Cost Affects Industry
Working out tax rates for different goods and services was a huge challenge for India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council. Although the GST has taken under consideration a significant part of the industry - cotton and natural fibers, distortion has been introduced in the GST system, through the ‘inverted’ duty structure on man-made fibers.
