About

๐Ÿ“ฌ Newsletter โ€” Start it Today: rahulvohra.substack.com ๐Ÿ“š Book โ€” "If This Does Not Motivate You. What Will??" โ€” Amazon, Flipkart, Notion Press ๐Ÿ“š Next book launches May 30, 2026 For 27+ years I have been at the heart of India's apparel and retail industry. As a senior leader at one of India's fastest growing value fashion retail chains, I have seen this industry transform from the inside โ€” buying cycles, sourcing strategies, merchandising decisions, and the relentless pursuit of getting the right product to the right customer at the right price. I have sourced fabric across three continents. Built merchandising teams from scratch. Navigated supply chains through disruption. And watched this industry evolve through every economic cycle India has seen since the 1990s. Now I am at the most exciting inflection point of my career. AI is transforming how fashion and retail businesses operate โ€” and I am building at that intersection. I am currently: ๐Ÿ“š Authoring multiple books on apparel, retail, and AI โ€” for industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and the next generation of fashion leaders ๐Ÿค– Exploring how AI tools can help apparel brands, exporters, and retail chains work faster, source smarter, and communicate better ๐ŸŽค Building a platform to share 27 years of frontline industry knowledge โ€” openly, practically, and without jargon If you are building in fashion, retail, or textile โ€” or simply trying to understand where this industry is headed โ€” follow this journey. The best is yet to come.
