Mr. Jain feels that TT Ltd. looks to be a 50:50 company in terms of exports and domestic sales. Hence, going forward, the main focus is going to be more on value-added garments business, brand building and the domestic market which is the fastest growing opportunity for it. “We see our cotton-based textiles business growing rapidly, with Vietnam, Ethiopia and the US also providing interesting opportunities. We shall make structural and organizational changes to target higher growth rates of 20-25 per cent per annum”, he says.
