Due to COVID-19, if there is a severe impact on any sector is the textile sector. The pandemic has caused much havoc in the multiple sectors out of which textile is worst affected. Plant operations were shut down, people lost their jobs, employees were laid off, and every sector is still trying to revive from the impact of COVID-19. The only mantra to keep a job perish is to ‘perform or perish’, this mantra has the focus on it in a completely different scenario. The largest textile manufacturers in India are now reviving with full throttle to secure their place in the dynamic world.



To point out an example, Bengaluru’s textile sector is going through some problems as the sector is laying off thousands of employees within a few weeks. Karnataka is known to generate employment in the textile sector and that too especially for women. Many of the city’s high-performing and labor-intensive plants are now shutting down their operations, thus putting millions of livelihoods at risk.

But, there are still some hopes in the sector. Since the lockdown was lifted, the textile sector is reviving and the Largest garment manufacturers in India are now getting orders from international clients for which the manufacturers require more labor. As a result, the workers who lost their jobs are now getting employment with good salary packages.

India is known for its handicrafts and textile industry. The industry is gradually improving and young entrepreneurs are now working on a remote basis and generating revenues from their international clients. Through social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, homemakers are now selling their handmade stuff in India and overseas. The process is simple; the person who is good at operating social media and CRMs gets orders from the social media platform and website. Then tasks are delegated to the designated tailor or artisan and the order is fulfilled with the third party delivery platforms.
