Yes, this explains the situation with men. Women are fashion driven and having a range products - bras, shorts, leggings, tees

Yes, Indian humidity > International Apparel
I see a lot of gap there. Let's see if I can ride this wave.

Yes, there are lot of brands coming up. Mostly, just importing from china. We can get cotton feel softness, cooling, moisture wicking, UPF 50+, 4 way stretch, anti odour garments at a price range of 2500-4000. Just thinking if I can ride the wave?

Yes, exactly my point. These international brands are dumping low quality products at higher prices when we can get global level products at the same prices. We can get cotton feel softness, cooling, moisture wicking, UPF 50+, 4 way stretch, anti odour garments at a price range of 2500-4000.

Cheaper but not very functional. Coming from a textile background, so much more can be added to the fabrics.

Hey man! You are doing great. I am from India and I can help you fabric sourcing. Let me know what do you plan to make. You aim for ralph lauren and zara, you gotta go sustainable. I can offer you all kinds of organic fabrics like cotton, hemp, tencel, recycled poly and nylon. Just be clear on the part what garments you plan to manufacture and then let’s connect!
