    The Lalbhais can trace their descent from Seth Shantidas (c.1590-1659), who was a dominant figure in the business and civic life of the city. The current surname, Lalbhai, is derived from Lalbhai Dalpatbhai the great great great grandson of Khushalchand. Lalbhai was born around the time when the first textile factory in the city went into production. The first manufacturing company of the Lalbhai family, Saraspur Manufacturing Company was established in 1897. It started with producing cotton yarn. During the intensifying Swadeshi movement the second company Raipur Mills was established in 1905. At about this time, Mahatma Gandhi championed the Swadeshi Movement and at his call, people from all India began boycotting fine and superfine fabrics, which had so far been imported from England. Arvind Limited started with a share capital of Rs 2,525,000 ($55,000) in the year 1931. With the aim of manufacturing the high-end superfine fabrics Arvind invested in very sophisticated technology. With 52,560 ring spindles, 2552 doubling spindles and 1122 looms it was one of the few companies in those days to start along with spinning and weaving facilities in addition to full-fledged facilities for dyeing, bleaching, finishing and mercerizing. The sales in the year 1934, three years after establishment were Rs 45.76 lakh and profits were Rs 2.82 lakh. Steadily producing high quality fabrics, year after year, Arvind took its place amongst the foremost textile units in the country. In the mid 1980’s the textile industry faced another major crisis. With the power loom churning out vast quantities of inexpensive fabric, many large composite mills lost their markets, and were on the verge of closure. Yet that period saw Arvind at its highest level of profitability. There could be no better time, concluded the Management, for a rethink on strategy. In 1997 Arvind set up a state-of-the-art shirting, gabardine and knits facility, the…

    Khadi Case Study

    • 1872 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Khadi is a cloth woven using hand-operated loom with hand-spun yarn. The three varieties of Khadi are cotton, silk and wool. In 1925, Mahatma Gandhi established the first association of Khadi producers. In post independent India, the government of India at the federal level, and the provincial governments at the State level, set up promotional government bodies under the banner of Khadi & Village Industries Commission and Khadi & Village Industries Board respectively. One major concern of developing countries was, and still is, the generation of adequate employment opportunities and utilization of physical and human resource to the maximum advantage, particularly in rural areas where the majority of the population lives. This concern of India was reflected in the symbol of “charkha”, the spinning wheel which, next to agriculture is the most important source of income in rural India. Under the patronage of the Commission and Board, Khadi, this was hitherto a household, disorganized activity, and gradually evolved into a vibrant sector. While wooden single spindle wheel gradually developed into fabricated metal-based multi spindle “Charkha”, employment opportunity increased in manifolds, production multiplied, marketing outlets established, and consumer interest grew. From a household activity, Khadi developed into an expanding industry that could compete with products of the big industries in its own right. Khadi established itself as a marketable product. Over the years, Khadi grew substantially in value but not in net production terms. This obviously raises the question of quality value versus quantity value of the produce. End users are prepared to pay the price, if the supply of the product is at the right time, of proper quality and as per need. The growth of Khadi as discussed below specifically focuses on the issue of how the product has gained acceptance in the market, grown over the years, but is now faltering trying to keep pace with the…
