How I work
Most production problems look like vendor problems. They're usually planning problems that showed up late. Here's the order I actually work in, so you know what you're buying before you buy it.
What I ask for first
Your cost sheet, your tech pack, and your last three purchase orders. Not a brief. Three documents tell me more in twenty minutes than an hour of conversation, because they show what your business actually does rather than what it intends to do.
What I look at, in order
Cost Sheet
Whether fabric is one line or several. Whether wastage appears anywhere. Whether the sampling cost was ever amortised. This is where most of the missing margin is hiding.
Tech Pack
Whether a factory could make your garment correctly without phoning you. If it couldn't, every delay and every rejection downstream traces back to here.
Vendor Relationship
What you're being told versus what you can verify. Marker efficiency, sampling turnaround, what happens when a delivery slips.
Order Pattern
Whether your MOQs, your reorder cycle and your cash position are compatible. Very often they aren't, and nobody has said it plainly.
What you get back
One page. What I found, what it's costing you in rupees where I can put a number on it, and what to do about it in the order I'd do it. No deck, no framework, no sixty-slide diagnostic. If it can't fit on a page, I haven't finished thinking about it.
​
What happens after
Usually one of three things. You take the page and fix it yourself — that's a good outcome and it happens often. You bring me back for a specific piece: a vendor search, a costing rebuild, a factory audit. Or we set up a monthly arrangement where I'm the person you call before you commit to something expensive.
How I'm Engaged
1
Remote-first
Most of this work is documents, calls and follow-through. You don't need me in the room to fix a cost sheet.
2
On-Ground
Vendor selection, factory audits, and sitting in on a negotiation are worth doing in person. Those are day visits.
3
Defined Scope, Always
You'll know what you're getting and what it costs before we start. No open-ended retainers that quietly become nothing.
Where to start?
If you run a boutique or a small label, the Boutique Clinic is the right first hour. If you're a D2C brand and something between your collection and your customer isn't working, that's Collection to Customer. If you already know you need someone alongside you for the long build, the Six-Month Build is where that lives.

Not sure which? Take the free fifteen minutes and I'll tell you — including if the answer is none of them.
