What Indochine International does

Indochine International is a privately held, vertically integrated apparel design, sourcing, and manufacturing company founded in 2004 by Dipendra Goenka, Nishit Bapna, and Janet Xu. Headquartered in Hangzhou, China with operational headquarters in Los Angeles and London, the company serves global retail brands and retailers across more than 20 countries through a five-module service offering: Design Innovation, Product Development, Merchandise Planning and Allocation, Global Manufacturing, and Distribution and Warehousing. The company describes itself as 'close to $1B in revenue' with approximately 1,800 corporate employees and over 18,000 factory workers globally.

The company's core platform combines proprietary sustainability technologies with owned manufacturing and US distribution infrastructure. Manufacturing is operated through owned factories in Cambodia (2011) and Ethiopia (2016), with a planned owned factory in Egypt for 2024, complemented by a sourcing network spanning 14+ countries including Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, China, Turkey, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Egypt. Sustainability capabilities include ozone, laser, and e-flow water-saving denim processes, circular fashion manufacturing, and certifications across Higg FEM, ZDHC, Higg FSLM, SEDEX, and SLCP. In the United States, the company operates 1 million square feet of owned or strategically partnered warehouse space in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami offering pick-and-pack, vendor-managed inventory, replenishment, and storage services.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales-led, with regional managing directors in 18 global offices driving partnerships with retail brands. Revenue is generated through professional design services, manufacturing fees and sourcing commissions, and managed distribution services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has grown organically to its current scale without disclosed external private equity or venture capital funding, with founder family members operating as Managing Directors in key regional markets including LA, London, and Bangladesh. In 2013, Indochine acquired Orit Apparel to extend vertical integration into denim manufacturing.
