About

I’m a business-minded professional with a B.Sc. in Economics and three years of leadership experience in the cotton industry. Having worked as the Managing Director at YK Cotton & Ginning Mill Pvt. Ltd., I’ve developed a deep understanding of the textile value chain — from raw cotton sourcing to production and market delivery. My work has involved collaborating with farmers, investors, and banking partners, managing daily operations, and presenting strategic ideas to stakeholders. These experiences have strengthened my communication, team management, and decision-making skills. Coming from a textile background, I’m now eager to expand my learning into the clothing and fashion business — especially in areas like operations, sourcing, marketing, and brand management. I’m open to opportunities where I can contribute to a growing clothing brand or fashion startup while learning the creative and business aspects of the industry. I believe in staying curious, learning continuously, and working hands-on to understand every layer of the business — from fabric to final product.
