President, Fashion - Textiles & Apparel Division of

growth in the domestic market from the current levels
of $58 billion to an expected level of $141 billion
by 2021 itself makes the overall opportunity very
promising”.
Mr. Mohammad said: “It is a very interesting
time, and India will have to take the lead in the
T&A sector”.
Mr. Ajay Amalean, Director of MAS Holdings,

bullish market, and people need to find a hybrid
solution in terms of differentiation, execution and
satisfying consumer demands”.
