We’re proud to share that World Collective has been featured in Forbes as part of their coverage on "Exploring India’s Ministry Of Textile 2030 Plan at Bharat Tex." This recognition is a validation of the bold work we are doing to reshape fashion sourcing through digital innovation, global collaboration, and sustainable practices.
Sourcing Needs a Shift—And World Collective Is Driving It
The fashion industry is at a breaking point. Between fragmented supply chains, lack of transparency, and rising pressure from both consumers and regulations, brands and suppliers can no longer afford to rely on outdated processes. The Forbes feature positions World Collective at the forefront of this shift, recognizing our work as a B2B solution accelerator making sourcing smarter, faster, and more sustainable.
Sourcing shouldn't be complicated. Brands shouldn't spend months chasing suppliers, and suppliers shouldn't be left without visibility and access to global markets. Our Marketplace changes that and the international ecosystem we're building empowers it even more. This structure allows brands to discover certified materials, connect with trusted suppliers, and make informed sourcing decisions—all in one platform. While suppliers get to sell to costumers worldwide, while promoting their materials and sustainability efforts.
As Forbes rightly points out, Bharat Tex 2025 marks a pivotal moment for India's textile industry—and we’re proud to be part of it, ensuring global buyers and suppliers connect in meaningful, impactful ways.
Aligning Industry Transformation with World Collective’s Vision
Our feature in Forbes underlines the very essence of World Collective's mission:
To accelerate sustainable sourcing and connect brands and suppliers through innovative, efficient, and responsible solutions.
The fashion industry needs real solutions that don’t compromise between profitability and responsibility. This means:
Giving suppliers a global stage to showcase certified, innovative materials.
Helping brands diversify supply chains, meet their ESG goals, and work with partners they trust.
Streamlining the sourcing process with digital tools that eliminate the usual friction points—no more endless emails, lost samples, or lack of traceability.
Our work at Bharat Tex and beyond is a step toward a systemic transformation that benefits everyone—brands, suppliers, and ultimately, consumers.
Pushing Boundaries: Why This Matters Now
As we step deeper into 2025, fashion sourcing is under more scrutiny than ever. New laws, like the EU’s Digital Product Passport, are raising the bar for supply chain traceability. At the same time, brands are under pressure to move faster, cheaper, and more sustainably—challenges that are often contradictory.
World Collective exists to solve this tension.
Our Marketplace isn’t just a sourcing tool—it’s a platform to drive innovation, collaboration, and transparency. We’re proud to be recognized in an outlet like Forbes, but this is just the beginning. The work we’re doing with global suppliers and buyers is creating a new blueprint for how sourcing should operate in today’s market.
