  • Analyze competitor products for quality, fit, and pricing benchmarks.
  • Create detailed Tech Packs and Patterns for all new developments.
  • Collaborate with sampling vendors to achieve perfect initial samples through iterative refinements.

2. Technical Development & Quality Control

  • Brief the QC Executive (Rajeshwari) before every new product’s bulk inspection and ensure she understands specific quality parameters.
