The company, which will offer apparel products catering to customers of varying economic strata, will start with woven clothes, knitwear and machine-made apparel, including denims, said Tijarawala. A suitable brand name aligned with its ‘swadeshi’ agenda is being worked out, but ‘Paridhan’ (Hindi for apparel) is an option, he said. The company may even opt for multiple brands.

It may also explore the possibility of selling the line through retail outlets of government-managed Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).
