Significantly, one of the key players digitizing the Indian textile industry is Vastra. Vastra strives to help Apparel Manufacturers, Traders, Karigars, and Production, Sales, Dispatch Managers far easier by serving as their trusted digital assistant. The firm assists them in gaining more business by providing total visibility of each process, as well as auto pilot and multifold growth.

"Even today, most Indian textile manufacturers keep track of manufacturing job status, sales orders, delivery challans, material wastage, material inventory, design inventory, and other information on paper. This is both inefficient and time consuming. Vastra App makes it easy for manufacturers to keep track of their records on their phones in the simplest way. It provides intelligent insights to help them expand their business and acts as an assistant, reminding them of important details," signifies Vikash Rajpurohit, Founder at Vastra.

There are other accounting systems with which it collaborates and integrates, but the solution it provides is unique in its own right.

These individuals own the business and provide a competitive advantage by creating designs."
