The case study also highlights the consequent need for a policy environment that supports large-scale manufacturing, employment generation, and export competitiveness. Shahi Exports serves as a prime example of how large-scale apparel manufacturing can drive economic progress and create opportunities, particularly for women, in India’s workforce.
