Why India Needs Indigenous Material Innovation
The future of fashion will depend not only on design but also on the materials behind it. India has a unique opportunity to lead the next wave of sustainable textile innovation by developing indigenous fibres rooted in its ecosystems and craft traditions. From Himalayan grasses to region-specific natural fibres-HimGra, material innovation can support climate resilience, strengthen supply chains, and generate new rural livelihoods.
