Tag: Indian textile history

Bombay Dyeing, founded in 1853, is the oldest continuously operating textile company in India. It survived colonial rule, independence, and economic shifts by focusing on quality, innovation, and worker welfare - a legacy still alive today.

Ahmedabad remains India’s top producer of cotton textiles, with over 400,000 workers and global exports. Though old mills are gone, small tech-driven units keep the industry alive and evolving.
