Interview with Jaivardhan T, Director – Global Sales & Strategy, Indo Texnology
During ITM 2026 in Istanbul, Behnam Ghasemi, Editor-in-Chief of Kohan Textile Journal, sat down with Jaivardhan T, Director – Global Sales & Strategy at Indo Texnology, to discuss the company’s automation technologies, AI-powered inspection systems, opportunities in the Turkish market, and the future of sustainable textile manufacturing.
Kohan Textile Journal:
Please introduce yourself and tell us more about Indo Texnology.
Jaivardhan T:
Our group consists of two companies: Indo Texnology and Count AI.
We are a family-owned business led by myself and my brother. The foundation of the group was laid by my father, who has more than four decades of experience in the textile industry.
Over the years, he traveled extensively across textile manufacturing countries around the world and closely observed the different challenges faced by textile manufacturers in various regions. Every country has its own unique issues—whether related to labor, quality, efficiency, productivity, or operational management.
Based on these experiences, we started identifying common gaps in textile manufacturing and developed solutions specifically designed to address those challenges. Our objective has always been to provide practical technologies that help manufacturers improve their operations and remain competitive.
That vision ultimately led to the creation of Indo Texnology and Count AI.
Kohan Textile Journal:
Could you tell us about the products and technologies you are showcasing at ITM 2026?
Jaivardhan T:
The philosophy behind all our products is quite simple. We want to make textile manufacturing easier, smarter, and less dependent on manual intervention.
As everyone knows, textile manufacturing remains one of the most labor-intensive industries in the world. Finding skilled workers is becoming increasingly difficult, labor costs are rising, and maintaining consistency across production processes is a challenge for many manufacturers.
Therefore, our technologies are designed to reduce dependency on manpower while simultaneously improving quality and operational efficiency.
In the spinning sector, we offer complete automation systems for transporting bobbins and cones directly from auto-winders. Beyond transportation, we also provide automated packing and inspection solutions. These systems utilize artificial intelligence and machine vision technologies to inspect products automatically, ensuring consistent quality while minimizing human involvement.
For knitting mills, particularly those operating circular knitting machines, we offer real-time fabric inspection systems. These systems continuously monitor the fabric during production and identify defects immediately as they occur.
This approach significantly reduces fabric waste because manufacturers no longer need to wait until the end of production to discover quality issues. Problems can be detected and corrected instantly, resulting in better efficiency, reduced waste, and improved productivity.
These are some of the key technologies we are presenting at ITM 2026.

Kohan Textile Journal:
Why is the Turkish market important for Indo Texnology?
Jaivardhan T:
Turkey is a very interesting and strategically important market for us.
First of all, Turkey is a highly developed manufacturing economy where labor costs are considerably higher than in many other textile-producing countries. As labor costs increase, automation naturally becomes more important.
Secondly, Turkey produces a large amount of value-added textile products for demanding export markets such as Europe and North America. The quality expectations in these markets are extremely high, and manufacturers must maintain consistent standards across their production operations.
Automation plays a major role in helping companies achieve this. It not only reduces labor dependency but also ensures consistency in production quality and output.
Because of these factors, we believe Turkey is one of the most important markets for intelligent automation technologies. We see tremendous opportunities to support Turkish manufacturers as they continue to move toward higher-value production and greater operational efficiency.
Kohan Textile Journal:
How do you see the future of the textile industry?
Jaivardhan T:
Textiles will always remain a fundamental industry. People will always need clothing and textile products, so demand will never disappear.
The real question is not whether the textile industry will grow, but rather which segments of the industry will experience the strongest growth.
Personally, I believe the future belongs to value-added textiles. Manufacturers must continuously monitor changing consumer demands and emerging market trends.
Today, fast fashion is reshaping supply chains and production strategies. At the same time, sustainability is becoming a major driver of change throughout the industry. We are also seeing growing demand for recycled textiles and environmentally responsible products.
The textile industry has become highly dynamic. Trends evolve quickly, and manufacturers must adapt accordingly.
Companies that focus on understanding market demand and producing the right products at the right time will continue to grow. Those who simply produce commodities without responding to changing market requirements may face greater challenges.
As long as manufacturers align their production with actual market demand, I believe there will always be strong opportunities for growth in the textile sector.
Kohan Textile Journal:
What is your perspective on the textile industry in the Middle East and Africa?
Jaivardhan T:
At the moment, our presence in these regions is still relatively limited.
However, what we observe is encouraging. We see increasing investments in textile manufacturing across both the Middle East and Africa, and there appears to be significant potential for future growth.
Many international brands and manufacturers are exploring new sourcing and production destinations, and these regions are attracting increasing attention.
For this reason, we are very interested in expanding our activities there. We look forward to establishing a stronger presence, working more closely with textile manufacturers in these markets, and exploring the opportunities they offer.
I believe both regions have promising futures and could become increasingly important parts of the global textile value chain.
Kohan Textile Journal:
How important is sustainability within your company’s strategy?
Jaivardhan T:
Sustainability is not just an additional objective for us—it is an integral part of our mission.
Almost all of our technologies are designed with sustainability in mind.
We help manufacturers reduce waste, improve quality, optimize resource utilization, and make production processes more efficient. By reducing unnecessary material consumption and preventing defects, our solutions contribute directly to more sustainable manufacturing.
Another important aspect is reducing dependence on manual processes and creating more intelligent production systems that can operate with greater precision and consistency.
Ultimately, our goal is to help textile manufacturers produce more with fewer resources while maintaining high quality standards. That, in our view, is one of the most practical ways to support sustainability in the textile industry.
Editor’s Insight
The interview with Jaivardhan T highlights a growing reality across global textile manufacturing: automation is no longer simply a productivity tool—it is becoming a necessity.
As labor shortages, rising costs, quality requirements, and sustainability targets continue to reshape the industry, technologies such as AI-powered inspection systems, intelligent material handling, and automated packing solutions are moving rapidly from optional investments to strategic priorities.
Indo Texnology’s approach reflects a broader industry shift toward smart manufacturing, where automation, machine vision, and real-time data are helping mills reduce waste, improve consistency, and prepare for the next generation of textile production.
