Indian fabric and fashion have woven trade ties with the world since the beginning of civilisation. Yet for all its innovation and outstanding craftsmanship, Indian fashion does not grab the kind of space in the global market that it deserves. As technology and new sensibilities mark a big shift in the fashion industry, it is time for homegrown companies to get their due. And who better to helm this movement than the man who is arguably the architect of India’s fashion ecosystem – Sanjay Nigam. In this episode of Unusual Suspects listen in on his views about the Indian fashion business, the motivation behind his brainchild – the Fashion Entrepreneur Fund, and his foray into the reality show ‘Pitch to Get Rich’ in conversation with Gaurav Choudhury.
