I am documenting the rise of engineered, lab鈥慶reated textiles in India, focusing on how companies are shifting from fashion to problem鈥憇olving materials.
Technical textiles are already making an impact far beyond fashion. From road construction and bulletproof jackets to medical protective gear, agricultural nets and industrial filters, they are becoming essential across industries.
With India's growing focus on advanced manufacturing and technical textiles, this is a space worth watching.
I chose to highlight Whizzo because it exemplifies the shift toward engineered fabrics that address real鈥憌orld engineering challenges such as safety, infrastructure, and health.
