  • 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

  • Evaluate and select fabrics and materials based on composition, performance, and market cost.
  • Negotiate target costs with vendors to ensure alignment with product quality standards.

  • Review garment construction, stitching, and finishing for technical accuracy and durability.
  • Enforce Tech Pack specifications during vendor sampling and pre-production.

  • Brief the QC Executive (Rajeshwari) before every new product’s bulk inspection and ensure she understands specific quality parameters.
  • Review Rajeshwari’s QC reports, identify recurring defects or trends, and take corrective action with vendors.
