New Delhi, Dec 18 (Ians) An innovation by a budding entrepreneur in the country can help digitise textile designing in India and minimise production costs and save time, which may help revive the struggling handloom sector.
S. Nishanth, 23, has digitised the ‘Jacquard’ loom. His innovation, the Novatex Electrical Cylinder, simplifies the process of weaving designs on saris and dhotis, eliminating dependency on thousands of punch cards, which need reconfiguration for every new design.
“I faced multiple challenges and failures over the past two years, optimising the final product. It involved hundreds of major and minor alterations,” Nishanth told Ians.
“The latest version is probably the most efficient we have devised, being five times smaller, 10 times faster and costs only half to manufacture, as compared to the original prototype,” added Nishanth, who has won several awards for his innovations.
