Maneet Gohil â CEO
Passion for transforming the textile supply chain runs in my veinsâa drive that began in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, where my grandfatherâs manufacturing unit first sparked my curiosity about the intricacies of local production. ð§ðµð² ðð²ðŽð®ð°ð ððµð®ð ððŽð»ð¶ðð²ð± ððµð² ððŒðð¿ð»ð²ð Growing up amidst the echoes of my grandfatherâs entrepreneurial spirit, I witnessed firsthand how garment units struggled to break into the global arena. His challenges and eventual setbacks raised a critical question: why were so many manufacturers left behind in a rapidly evolving industry? ð ððµð®ð»ðŽð¶ð»ðŽ ðð»ð±ðððð¿ð ðð®ð»ð±ðð°ð®ðœð² Before the age of streamlined global logistics, local textile units thrived in relative isolation, catering primarily to domestic ethnic consumption. But as the world shifted toward modern production and export standards, countless traditional factoriesâincluding my grandfatherâsâcouldnât keep pace with emerging efficiencies and growing global demand. This legacy of both passion and challenge ignited a fresh approach to manufacturing. ð§ðµð² ð¡ð²ð ð ðŠððœðœð¹ð ððµð®ð¶ð» ð¥ð²ððŒð¹ððð¶ðŒð» Today, as global trade continues to transform, we stand on the brink of a revolutionary shift in how products reach international buyers. At Lal10, weâre turning the tables for Indiaâs textile factories by backward integrating over 180 garment factories and several textile mills into one expansive, full-stack âcloud factory.â Our mission is clear: enable mid-to-large size manufacturers to scale exports with 100% capacity utilization. This approach unlocks faster turnaround times, minimizes wastage, offers flexible MOQs, and empowers manufacturers to seize global design trends swiftly. ððºðœðŒðð²ð¿ð¶ð»ðŽ ðð»ð±ð¶ð®ð» ð§ð²ð ðð¶ð¹ð² ðð ð°ð²ð¹ð¹ð²ð»ð°ð² By reimagining supply chain efficiency for apparel, Lal10 is paving the way for India to capture its rightful share of the global textile market. Today, India exports $14B worth of apparel compared to $45B from Bangladesh, even though our production output across factories exceeds $104B. With the Government's ambitious push to reach a $100B export goal by 2030, the opportunity is immense. At Lal10, with buyers spanning Japan, the US, the UK, the EU, and Latin America, weâre not just adapting to changeâweâre leading it. Every challenge from the past fuels my commitment to drive innovation and efficiency, ensuring that the legacy of local craftsmanship not only survives but thrives on the world stage.
