Acknowledgements

I believe no lone wolf can ever succeed! And I am very lucky to have friends and colleagues who have supported me and, positively, contributed towards a lot of my learnings.

They have also taken out time, read my chapters and shared their learnings, experiences and insights, making this journey an enriching one.

Some of those insights are shared in this as part of the conclusive chapters. I would like to take this page to thank them all…

I am also grateful to apparel resources who have given me an opportunity to publish my articles on their esteemed website. They have also obliged in permitting me to make those articles a part of this book.
