Industry Interaction
An industrial interaction at Udyog Bhawan saw Union Minister of Textiles, Giriraj Singh, engaging with key industry leaders. Dr. Romesh Khajuria, Chairman of the Wool & Woollens Export Promotion Council (WWEPC), presented the potential of alternative and allied fibers to significantly boost India’s textile exports.
A key focus was the blending of hemp and wool, a textile combination gaining global attention for its eco-friendliness and sustainability. Experts discussed the growing demand for these materials worldwide. Dr. Khajuria highlighted this initiative as a step toward making India a global leader in sustainable textiles.
Dr. Khajuria supported proposals to establish Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with South Korean delegates. These partnerships aim to facilitate knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and investment. The agreement includes a buy-back arrangement for hemp-based products and advanced textile technologies, offering significant opportunities for India’s textile sector.
The event brought together prominent figures from the industry. Participants included Karan Sarsar, Founder & CEO of Awega Green Technologies LLP; Shripat Jagirdar, Founder & CEO of Weaving Vibes; Shridhar Jagirdar, Founder & CEO of Karishma Exports; and Kanika Sood, an agriculturist at Humans of Hemp.
