We help manufacturers enhance their manufacturing capacity utilization.
Q&A:
What inspired you to start this company and why you have chosen textile industry as one of the sectors?
The concept of Capximize was devised basis the initiative of of “Make in India”. The initiative was launched by our Hon. Prime Minister on India, Shri Narendra Modi. According to the Government statistics at present, India utilises barely 60% of its installed manufacturing capacities whereas, even developing countries like Brazil and Vietnam utilise 83% – 84% of their installed capacities. A global platform offering detailed information on available surplus manufacturing capacities in India is the genesis of creating the Capximize platform.
The sectors selected have a substantial growth opportunity. Currently India offers large available manufacturing options for the global market. The Textile sector leads the pack!
Please tell us about the concept of your company and how it is beneficial for textile manufacturing industry?
The concept is to offer visibility to the Indian textile sector to the global markets. The platform has further divided the textile sector in multiple subsectors. A detailed curated information is collected regarding processes, machineries, capabilities, compliances, etc., depicting the available spare capacity by the Indian textile manufacturers to be utilised by domestic/inter- national companies. Additional business opportunities to the sector resulting in higher capacity utilisation leading to higher return on capital employed.
How textile industry is different from other industries in terms of information technology?
Digital India has become the reality and textile sector has been keeping themselves updated in the information technology field. Our experience so far has shown that hundreds of textile companies have been utilising the platform without any difficulty.
Today information technology play vital role in the field of textile manufacturing industry, would you share your opinion about it?
Global visibility to every member of the textile industry is possible only due to our secured cloud-based platform. Our proprietary algorithm brings about the right partnership for use of available spare capacities in textile sectors.
Could you please elaborate on working of your company? How do you feel for the same?
Capximize India is a platform wherein a capximizer means the company having spare/surplus manufacturing capacity upload the details. The data is kept, not only secured but also, confidential. Capximizee ie. Indian/ International company which is looking for Pan-India manufacturing options, searches on the platform as per their parameters to find matching partnership. The Capximizee beat Indian or International company saves equity capital and time for setting up new manufacturing capacities but instead can start “plug and play” ready facilities and expand the business.
