Mumbai-based textile specialist D Badami Fashion Connection LLP utilized the platform of Bharat Tex 2026 to bridge the gap between between traditional textile heritage and the modern demand for rapid, trend-responsive sourcing.

The brand is integrating proprietary design logic with sustainable fiber blends, including Tencel and modal to shift its strategic focus toward high-frequency design cycles and enhanced supply chain agility. With a monthly output of approximately 1.5 million meters, the firm is leveraging its in-house design studio -which generates around 1,000 new concepts monthly - to cater to the increasingly complex requirements of both domestic and international apparel retailers.

 

Scaling operational efficiency for global brands

The company’s participation at the New Delhi event highlighted its commitment to ‘Never Out of Stock’ (NOS) logistics, a model designed to reduce lead times for high-volume apparel brands to 15 days. This operational efficiency is central to the firm’s ambition of simplifying the fabric procurement process for emerging fashion labels and established houses alike. "Bharat Tex provided an excellent platform to connect with industry professionals, allowing us to align our product roadmap with evolving global market preferences," noted Vaibhav Jain, Director at Dhingar Silk Mills and shareholder at D. Badami. By maintaining a diverse portfolio that spans formal, resort, and casual wear, the organization continues to expand its reach across key markets including the UK and South America, underscoring the growing capability of Indian manufacturers to meet stringent global sustainability and compliance benchmarks.

Focusing on OEKO-TEX certified fabrics

D. Badami Fashion Connection is a Mumbai-based, design-led manufacturer of woven men’s and kidswear shirting fabrics. A division of the Dhingar Group (established 1961), the brand supplies 2,500+ global clients. It focuses on sustainable, OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, scaling production through innovative, tech-driven sourcing and a rapid-dispatch NOS model.
