Anand Mahindra is a prominent figure in India’s economic landscape, and his influence is substantial, we’re sure he’s an Inspiration to many, one such story is of the visionary, Kapil Rajpurohit, who defied traditional expectations, and carved out an impressive path within the textile industry through his company, Tex Story India.

“December 2021, When I was in Mumbai, I wanted to get a meeting with my inspiration, Mr. Anand Mahindra to make a powerful entry into the market, that’s when I met Ex- Mahindra Employee who could help me set up a potential investment meeting, who later inspired me to start on my own.” Kapil quoted.

From Humble Beginnings to a Visionary Leader

Amidst the glitz and glamor of the family-owned textile business in Karnataka, there was a simple guy who left Business to go to Kolkata at the age of 19 to follow his passion for textiles and apparel. Kapil worked at a garment agency in Kolkata to support his passion. Though his initial salary was modest at Rs 18,000 per month, it was his relentless determination to succeed that stood out.

He quickly made a name for himself and by the time he turned 22, he was already appointed as the Regional Head of a prominent Apparel & Textile agency in Surat.

Like many of us he was just Happy living his Professional life but wanted to start his Entrepreneurial Journey Soon.

Turning Point, attempt to meet Mr. Anand Mahindra in Mumbai, followed by story of a Little Bit of Mentoring & A Whole Lot Passion:

“When I was in Mumbai, I wanted to get a meeting with Mr. Anand Mahindra to make a powerful entry into the market, and I thought, Mr. Manish could help me set up a potential investment meeting” Kapil quoted.

But to his surprise, the meeting with Mr. Mahindra didn’t take place – again a blessing in disguise because a pivotal moment in Kapil’s journey was his interaction with Manish Advani, an influential mentor, Founder of MIMO Potentio, Speaker at 8 TedX Events and ex-Marketing and Change Management Head at Mahindra Special Services Group currently advising multiple startups. After seeking advice from Manish, Kapil was encouraged to start his own venture with his own funds instead of approaching large corporations prematurely for funding. Manish’s guidance laid the foundation for Kapil’s humble yet ambitious approach, based on the values Manish gained in Mahindra Group and his personal interactions with Mr. Anand Mahindra, Manish urged Kapil to build a business on strong foundation based on trust, innovation, and persistence.

Success always comes with failures, but those tough times get relatively easier when you have a mentor by your side. Kapil credits a lot of his success to the influence of his Father, Mr. Ramesh Bhimrajji Rajpurohit & his Mentor Manish Advani who encouraged Kapil to venture out independently rather than seeking investment too early, a piece of advice that changed the way he looked at entrepreneurship.

Establishing Tex Story India

Fast forward, Kapil came back to Surat, decided to take his career to the next level by starting his own company – Tex Story India, a textile sourcing and manufacturing company with the goal of simplifying textile sourcing. The company saw phenomenal success in its second year, recording a remarkable 200x growth in turnover.

Leading Tex Story India into Global Prominence

Tex Story India is based in Surat and was founded by Kapil at the age of 26. Surat is known as the fabric hub of India, and anyone who is into textile knows that Surat is the best place to be at.

While the story of Tex Story India success seems very convenient, it wasn’t so easy. He had a vision to build a global textile enterprise that not only catered to diverse market needs but also changed how sourcing was done in the industry. His company has successfully carved out a niche in the competitive textile market, and along with just women’s wear, offered solutions across a wide range of categories including menswear, kids’ wear, and home furnishings manufactured in Surat.

The biggest gap that Kapil noticed in the textile market was that buying textiles and garments for a business involves many challenges that needed careful handling. With various fabric types, weaves, dyes, and production methods to consider, the entire process became quite difficult for buyers to choose the right materials that align with quality and design needs.

Additionally, the global nature of textile supply chains makes it tough to verify the origin and ethical standards of production. Buyers had to dedicate significant time to researching suppliers, assessing samples, and negotiating deals, which require specific knowledge and established relationships. Furthermore, managing inventory & Production Timelines, Ultimately, the buying process in textiles and garments demands expertise, attention, and flexibility to succeed in this fast-moving industry.

That is where a reliable buying house comes into the picture. Tex Story India not just simplifies textile sourcing, but also caters to the numerous challenges of the textile industry, from ensuring ethical production to managing various fabric types while maintaining high-quality standards.

Proudest Moments and Milestones

One of Kapil’s proudest achievements came when renowned ethnic wear brands in India acknowledged the impact of his company. Their visits to Surat and appreciation for Tex Story’s collaborative efforts validated Kapil’s hard work and vision. Additionally, hearing from industry veterans that Kapil’s dedication could guarantee business worth crores reaffirmed his reputation as a trusted business partner.

A Culture of Trust and Collaboration

Tex Story India thrives on a familial work culture. Kapil’s leadership fosters a sense of camaraderie, treating his team members as equals and valuing their contributions. His emphasis on open dialogue and mutual respect extends beyond the office, creating an atmosphere where clients are treated like family. This unique approach has strengthened relationships with both clients and vendors, ensuring long-term business growth.

The Road Ahead for Tex Story India
