Hi, I’m Smi Aggarwal.

I work at the intersection of fashion, textile production, and digital platforms.

My experience spans fashion brand development, collaboration with textile workshops, supporting production software adoption in factories, and coordinating digital projects.

About me

My interest in textiles started early through exposure to my parents’ textile workshop, where I became familiar with the realities of textile production.

Later, I became involved in fashion brand development, working closely with textile workshops and product creation.

Over time, my work expanded to include digital tools and operational platforms, supporting projects that connect production teams with new systems.

Today, I’m particularly interested in how fashion products, textile production, and digital platforms interact across the supply chain.
