An honest Opinion : Indian fashion industry is worth $60 billion, but fashion enthusiasts still struggle to make their mark in the industry. Fashion education is very accepting; but as a matter of fact is pretty expensive too. ⏫ It's very challenging for aspiring fashion students to get into top fashion colleges (Seats are limited and computer based test pose problems for talent in remote areas !) And even after finishing their degree/diploma (at sky high cost especially from a private institution) ; returns aren't as satisfactory if we say the least. Placements & internships firstly are pretty competitive ; secondly, they have been consistently low. 😒 Alternatively, if they want to tread the entrepreneurship journey, they are perplexed on how to find their niche?  the pressure to make a mark, & the frustration of not knowing where to start. 🤔 My friend, I've also been where you are. Seen these challenges myself & saw fashion stylists,bloggers,influencers go through the same. It's tough & merciless. 👊 But instead of feeling helpless, I had a vision and that will be an offering from myEcloset to all the fashion enthusisats out there ! 🎁 So stay tuned to join us on this transformative journey where uncertainties fade away, and opportunities flourish. 🚀 🚀 🚀 We are here to support your aspirations, guide your growth, and empower you to establish your unique footprint in the dynamic world of fashion. 💥 💫 #EmpoweringFashionFutures #CraftYourSuccess RASHMI CHOPRA

In business, setting price points is a fundamental building block that can make or break your success. It's crucial to find that sweet spot - too cheap and you risk losses, too expensive and you invite competition. At Oggi, we understand the importance of constantly re-evaluating our pricing strategy to maintain the delicate balance between quality and affordability. Long ago I decided that quality comes first and pricing has to follow, it has not been an easy path and has cost me clients over the years, but it comes from a place of needing to be comfortable with our offering. As a garment manufacturer, I've experienced firsthand the challenges posed by big online traders. Even with a niche market willing to pay more for quality, there's a limit that must be respected. It's a delicate dance that requires meticulous attention. During a recent internship with a fashion design student, I was struck by the lack of training in cost vs. design. Should training institutions be providing this knowledge, or is it something one learns on the job? The intersection of cost and design is a critical aspect that we must navigate effectively in all industries. Personally I believe it's time that this integration started being part of all training courses. #PricingStrategy #BusinessInsights #GarmentManufacturing #FashionDesign #CostVsDesign #OggiFashion #IndustryChallenges
