Earlier I worked for a garment factory as GM-Operations, and handled some of the big European and US labels and Buyers.
My experience in that Company helped me in building a large network of suppliers, factories and service providers - on whom
I depend today to make my business a success.

We work with some of the good factories in India, who have all facilities in-house like CAD, washing, embroidery etc, and those who
follow ethical standards of sustainability and fair trade practices.

Apart from the stated products - we have expanded our product base to also include

Bronze and Metal products,

Very much interested in adding new accounts to cater to. Our agency would be useful for all those new entrants who would like to
source their products from India and also to those who already are sourcing from India and are looking for ground support here.

Our website www.zedconcept.com would give an idea on the services and products offered by us.

Open for invitations and discussions.
