The traditional textile export pipeline built around trade fairs, IndiaMART listings, buying agents, and long-term relationships is changing.
International procurement managers are increasingly using AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to discover and shortlist textile suppliers before contacting them.
Typical AI searches include:
