Am sure the situation goes same for your company too being cotton-made textiles producer. What is your say? What remedy have you resorted to strengthen bottom line?

Mr Rahul Patel

What ever I said earlier stands and more over; one has to cut costs where-ever necessary. In fact I am sure, we will emerge stronger by working even more efficiently.


 
fibre2fashion: Recession is a bad time. There is one school of thought which considers it to be an opportunity to invest and expand at lower rate and reap the best returns later. What is your strategy?

Mr Rahul Patel

Yes, recession is a bad time for every one, but one must not forget that it offers so many opportunities as well. We are always evaluating situation and scouting for the right opportunities. As a group, our philosophy has been “Active Thinking” leading to productive growth. We are following that path.


 
fibre2fashion: Our Interim budget has failed to meet expectations of all industries. What all consequences do you envisage on your industry?

What ever the Government does, it will never meet industry’s expectations. In business, a lot of local units are working partial capacities or are completely shut down.


 
fibre2fashion: Are you satisfied with the measures taken by the government to help industry in this tough time?

Mr Rahul Patel

There was nothing in the budget for us and Government should seriously look into enhancing exports benefits like draw back for textile industries to make them more competitive internationally. Even cotton prices will be going up with the new announcement in the policy.
