What Sahana Clothing Company does

Sahana Clothing Private Limited, doing business as Sahana Clothing Company, is a vertically integrated knit garment manufacturer founded in 1984 by Late N. Krishnaswamy and headquartered in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. The company operates six integrated production divisions spanning the full manufacturing value chain — spinning (25,000 kg/day using LMW and Schlafhorst machinery), knitting (25,000 kg/day), dyeing (20,000 kg/day with GOTS-approved chemicals), printing (50,000 pieces/day with 12-color placement capability via Portuguese Sroque machines), embroidery (12 lines with Japanese Barudan machines supporting 9-color designs and laser cutting), and garmenting — across a 25+ acre integrated campus with 2,500+ machines. The integrated platform produces more than 40 million garments annually.

The company serves a B2B customer base of "6+ World-Class Clients," comprising major fashion labels and stores worldwide, through direct enterprise sales relationships. Sahana generates revenue primarily through contract manufacturing fees on production orders, with pricing negotiated on the basis of specifications, quantities, and contract terms rather than publicly disclosed rates. The business holds IGBC Platinum certification (November 2022) for green building standards and has installed 18.35 MW of renewable energy capacity (8.35 MW wind + 10 MW solar), positioning it for ESG-conscious brand procurement. The current workforce exceeds 5,000 employees (80% women), with planned augmentation to 7,000+ as part of a multi-year Path Ahead expansion that includes a new factory unit and Industry 4.0/IoT automation projects across sewing, quality inspection (digitized AQL), and back-office functions.
