"Tukatech is a solutions provider for textile product development. And as Umesh Gaur, President (Asia), Tukatech, says “We don’t just sell a product, we provide holistic solutions to our clients. A manufacturer/exporter looking at setting up a plant is not expected to be an expert in all areas of production and this is where we come into the picture by providing technical excellence and services.” Gaur says they have seven companies in their roster of clients — who were not tech savvy in some of areas of manufacturing. Tukatech helped them network with the right people and provided them support in-house."

Offering time saving solutions

Explaining their working Gaur says, “Once a manufacturer gets a query on a product from an exporter or a domestic player, they first create a sample with all details like patterns, types and designs etc. We then use our software — which does not need a digitiser — to help the client create a product. This technology brings efficiency into the process along with faster pace and accuracy. The software minimises the chance of a product being rejected.”

Gaur informs they also provide solutions in warp knitting and grading. The major concern for a manufacturer is product development and approval. It takes time for a product to get approved, sometimes more than 30 to 40 days. “We help in reducing time cycle for approval by getting virtual sampling through the software. Then it is uploaded on cloud — which is another area of service we provide. This saves time, energy, labour and more. It’s all about productivity. So cloud solution and 3D are upcoming technology offerings. We also have cutting equipment and spreaders.” On India becoming a global garmenting hub, he says “India holds a trump card in many areas. Indian products are still considered best in quality, though we don’t produce in quantity like our neighbouring countries. We are blessed with a variety of fabrics and handmade designs. The kind of fabrics that are available here cannot be found anywhere else,” he expounds.

Gaur says they are looking to increasing market share, “We are happy with satisfied clients and well executed projects. Our bottom line is customer satisfaction. We are a US-based company and have significant expertise in our area of operation. There are more than 300 CAD companies worldwide. But we are doing exceptionally well everywhere. In India, we have clients like Future Group, KKCL, Gokuldas, Reliance etc. It is not that they are using these technologies first time but they chose us over competition because we provide them what others can’t.” Showcasing at the recent Garment and Textile Expo in Delhi, Gaur says they are associated with GTE from the very beginning. “The response in this edition of GTE was phenomenal. It’s been a win-win situation for us.”
