Arvind Ltd History The year 1930 was when the world suffered the great depression.

Companies across the globe began closing down. In UK and in India, the textile industry in particular was in trouble. At about this time, Mahatma Gandhi championed the Swadeshi Movement and at his call, people from all across India began boycotting fine and superfine fabrics, which had so far been imported from England. In the midst of this depression one family saw opportunity. The Lalbhais reasoned that the demand for fine and superfine fabrics still existed. And any Indian company that met this demand would surely prosper. The three brothers, Kasturbhai, Narottambhai and Chimanbhai, decided to set up a mill to produce superfine fabric. Next they looked around for state-of-the-art machinery that could produce such high quality fabric. Their search ended in England. The best technology of that time was acquired at a most attractive price. And a company called Arvind Limited was born. Arvind Limited started with a share capital of Rs 2,525,000 ($55,000) in the year 1931. With the aim of manufacturing the high-end superfine fabrics Arvind invested in very sophisticated technology. With 52,560 ring spindles, 2552 doubling spindles and 1122 looms it was one of the few companies in those days to start along with spinning and weaving facilities in addition to fullfledged facilities for dyeing, bleaching, finishing and mercerizing. The sales in the year 1934, three years after establishment were Rs 45.76 lakh and profits were Rs 2.82 lakh. Steadily producing high quality fabrics, year after year, Arvind took its place amongst the foremost textile units in the country. In the mid 1980s the textile industry faced another major crisis. With the power loom churning out vast quantities of inexpensive fabric, many large composite mills lost their markets, and were on the verge of closure. Yet that period saw Arvind at its highest level of profitability. There could be no better time, concluded the

Management, for a rethink on strategy. The Arvind management coined a new word for it new strategy Reno vision. It simply meant a new way of looking at issues, of seeing more than the obvious and that became the corporate philosophy. The national focus paved way for international focus and Arvinds markets shifted from domestic to global, a market that expected and accepted only quality goods. An in-depth analysis of the world textile market proved an eye opener. People the world over were shifting from synthetic to natural fabrics. Cottons were the largest growing segments. But where conventional wisdom pointed to popular priced segments, Reno vision pointed to high quality premium niches. Thus in 1987-88 Arvind entered the export market for two sections -Denim for leisure & fashion wear and high quality fabric for cotton shirting and trousers. By 1991 Arvind reached 1600 million meters of Denim per year and it was the third largest producer of Denim in the world. In 1997 Arvind set up a state-of-the-art shirting, gabardine and knits facility, the largest of its kind in India, at Santej. With Arvinds concern for environment a most modern effluent treatment facility with zero effluent discharge capability was also established. Year 2005 was a watershed year for textiles. With the muliti-fiber agreement getting phased out and the disbanding of quotas, international textile trade was poised for a quantum leap. In the domestic market too, the rationalizing of the cenvat chain and the growth of the organized retail industry was likely to make textiles and apparel see an explosive growth. Arvind has carved out an aggressive strategy to verticalize its current operations by setting up worldscale garmenting facilities and offering a one-stop shop service, by offering garment packages to its international and domestic customers. With Lee, Wrangler, Arrow and Tommy Hilfiger and its own domestic

brands of Flying Machine, Newport, Excalibur and Ruf & Tuf, Arvind set its vision of becoming the largest apparel brands company in India.

Founding Fathers The Lalbhais A Historical Perspective The Lalbhais can trace their descent from Seth Shantidas (c.15901659), who was a dominant figure in the business and civic life of the city. He enjoyed the patronage of the Moghul emperors to whom he was a trusted jeweler. Shantidas was amongst the prominent financers of his time as well. He played an influential role amongst the Jain community of his time, and it was because of his influence at the Moghul court that Shah Jehan confirmed the rights of the Jains over the ancient shrines of Shetrunjaya. His grandson, Khushalchand, (1680- 1748) too occupied a place of prominence in the business and social life of the city. He saved the city of Ahmedabad from the marauding Maratha army in 1725 by paying a ransom of Rs. 5 Lakh on behalf of the whole city. For this act the grateful mahajans promised in perpetuity, a small amount collected as town duties on goods entering the city to Khushalchand and his family, and the title of Nagarsheth was bestowed upon him. The current surname, Lalbhai, is derived from Lalbhai Dalpatbhai the great great great grandson of Khushalchand. Lalbhai was born around the time when the first textile factory in the city went into production. The first manufacturing company of the Lalbhai family, Saraspur Manufacturing Company was established in 1897. It started with producing cotton yarn. During the intensifying Swadeshi movement the second company Raipur Mills was established in 1905. Due to untimely death Lalbhai

Dalpatbhai the reins of his businesses were handed over to his young sons including a seventeen-year-old Kasturbhai Lalbhai. Kasturbhai started the first large scale textile mill under the name of Asoka Mills in 1920 with a capital of Rs.12 Lakh at a time when the largest mills in the region were built with not more than Rs. 5 Lakh. 1930-31 saw the resurgence of second Swadeshi movement coinciding with the great depression. While different entrepreneurs reacted to the situation differently Kasturbhai saw this as the decade of prosperity and growth and established the flagship Arvind Limited in 1931 with an authorized capital of Rs. 25.25 Lakh. Kasturbhai had also floated mills for families of his three sisters under the name of Aruna Mills in 1928 and Nutan Mills in 1931 and Ahmedabad New Cotton Mills in 1938. With the expansion Kasturbhai came to occupy the position of the biggest textile magnate in the country. Few groups could claim to have made such great strides during one of the worst periods in Indias industrial history. After a continuously successful period of four decades in the pre-independence era, the group entered into other fields such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc. The first diversification started in 1939 with Anil Starch Limited. Atul Products Limited was established in 1952 for manufacturing textile-related chemicals and dyestuff. Atul formed joint ventures with Ciba-Geigy called Cibatul, with American Cynamid called Cynamid of India and with ICI of UK called Atic Industries. As time progressed the JV partners separated amicably and these companies exist in India today as full representatives of these global giants. With the retirement of Kasturbhai and his younger brother Narottambhai from active business, the role of the patriarch fell on the shoulders of Arvindbhai. He along with his brother Niranjanbhai and his cousins Ashokbhai, Ajaybhai, Chinubhai and Vijaysinhbhai looked into the running of the textile mills, Siddharthbhai headed Atul Products, and Shrenikbhai, Anil starch. The group took over a sick company called Ahmedabad

Laxmi Cotton Mills Co. Ltd. and merged with Arvind Limited and the unit was renamed as Ankur Textiles. The unit currently under Arvind Products Limited is today the countrys largest organized player in the voiles market. The group also invested in Anup Engineering Limited engaged in fabrication and set up Amol Dicalite in collaboration with General Refractories Limited, U.S.A for manufacturing filter aids and perlite products. With the third generation of Lalbhais retiring from business Sanjay, Sunil and Samveg Lalbhai, the fourth generation of Lalbhais, now oversee all the businesses. Apart from the field of business the Lalbhais over generations have contributed to education, social and religious causes. Their contribution to education starting from Gujarat Vernacular Society in late 1800s to the formation of Ahmedabad Education Society, (1936), which governs 11 leading colleges and 6 schools, and 4 other educational programs. Kasturbhai Lalbhai played a key role in establishing the Physical Research Laboratory (1948), ATIRA (1947) and the famed IIM Ahmedabad (1961). The Lalbhai family has been closely associated with the Jain trust called Anandji Kalyanji Trust, which is involved in propagating and maintaining Jain temples in western India. Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai headed the trust for 50 years, followed by Shrenik Lalbhai for 30 years, and now, Samveg Lalbhai heads the trust. Sanjay Lalbhai heads Sharda Trust Arvinds CSR vehicle. Arvind is committed to upgrading the standard of municipal schools in Ahmedabad and work towards building a pool of bright employable youth

Upgrading slums Arvind in a partnership with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation developed a model to upgrade the slums of Ahmedabad. These slums house about 30% of the cities population that live in the most disadvantaged circumstances. In a highly documented and successful initiative a dwelling of over 181 hutments, housing 1200 people, was provided with improved surroundings and access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation facilities in individual houses. Vocational Training We initiated vocational training programmes to enhance and develop the skill of unemployed youth and help them take up Garment Operative jobs within Arvind and other garmentmanufacturing firms in Ahmedabad. In another initiative, Arvind has organized Programmes in English and Computer Application equip students with relevant knowledge and skills and find suitable job openings for them. This enables the students to

seek better employment and function effectively in their respective organizational roles.

Instiutions Since the early 20th century, Arvind and the Lalbhai Group have taken a keen interest in social development initiatives and have played a leading role in the establishment of various institutions promoting social welfare.

Sharda Trust Arvind Limited established the "Strategic Help Alliance for Relief to Distressed Areas" (SHARDA) Trust in 1995. Registered as a Public Charitable Trust, its broad objective is to improve the quality of life of urban poor anywhere in India. Sanjay Nagar The SHARDA Trust worked to upgrade infrastructure of Sanjay Nagar, a slum pocket in Ahmedabad, in collaboration with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, a local NGO, and the slumdwellers themselves. The residents of the slums were provided with water connection and adequate sanitation facilities in their houses and the surroundings were significantly improved. The Sanjay Nagar experience has been hailed as a model for slum upgrading by international agencies, and has been included in the 100 Best Practices Global List by the United Nations Centre for Human Settlement (UNCHS). Training Garment Operatives The Trust has also undertaken programs to train youth as Sewing Machine Operatives in collaboration with National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Gandhinagar, and organized their placement with Arvind and other Garment manufacturing firms.

We trained and placed over 300 Garment operatives through this program. Practical English and Computer Applications Training The Trust has conducted training programs in Practical English and Computer Applications for unemployed youth. The skills of the youth were upgraded to a level where they could find employment in BPO, ITES, and Banking & Finance firms. The Trust organized the first placements. The Trust organized this program in association with a sister Trust Chandarprasad Desai Memorial Foundation, whose purpose is social, economic and cultural development of the Industrial areas. The Trust has so far trained about 250 youth from Industrial areas and placed majority of them with good jobs. More than half of the successful participants have achieved over 200% salary growth in last four years. Gyanda: Fountain of Knowledge Quality Education in Municipal Schools The current mission of the Trust is to improve the education in Ahmedabads Municipal Schools. The SHARDA Trusts model Gyanda fountain of knowledge ensures completion of education for the municipal school going children and demands active participation of the students and parents in the program. The Gyanda model is a unique model that has four basic components. This includes Partnership with the local Government, Development of Innovative-Teaching-Learning Method & Materials, continuous Monitoring, Evaluation & Tracking of every child and creation of supportive infrastructure. SHARDA Trust has set up Gyanada Education Centres in Municipal schools. These Centres are fully equipped with modern computers, broadband and projection facilities and have conducive environment where teaching is done through Trusts Instructors. The immediate extension of this program includes

supporting education of children in Class VIII, IX & X who complete Trusts program. The program is set for a rapid expansion. The Trust also plans to work closely with other corporate houses to expand the reach and scope of this program.

Lalbhai Rural Development Fund Established in 1978, NLRDF is the rural CSR arm of the company. The Trust directly intervenes in the development process at the village level. The present operational area in 16 districts of Gujarat state reaches out to a population of about 25000. NLRDFs strategy has been to link government programs with the rural poor and thereby increasing the efficiency and the effectiveness of the delivery process. Except contextual differences, the needs of the rural poor are very similar to the needs of the urban poor. Poor quality of education, and unemployment, are the banes of rural India. Consequently, the rural areas need vocational programs so that the poorly educated and unemployed youth can find better job prospects in nearby cities. Similarly, the poor children living in rural areas need a better infrastructure in their schools. Finally, the rural poor need help including financial help, for improving the yields in their farms so that they can improve their earnings. NLRDF has designed its programs to fill these needs. Vocational Programs for rural poor The Khedbrahma Taluka of Gujarats Sabarkantha district is a tribal and a hilly area. Except agriculture, there are no industries that can provide promising career opportunities for the rural youth who are poorly educated and have no marketable skills. Consequently, unemployment is a major problem facing the youth of that region. The irony is that Arvind Limited located in nearby

Ahmedabad, is desperately looking for young persons with minimum educational qualifications to work in their garment factory. In this situation, we in NLRDF saw a unique opportunity to help the poor youth in the Khedbrahma taluka. NLRDFs team requested the Arvind Limited to provide training for about sixty youth from the Taluka for working in the companys garment factory. The company readily agreed to do so. Now these sixty young persons are working in the companys garment factory and earning a regular monthly income. More than earning a regular income, these young persons have found a direction for improving their career. If this experiment succeeds, the NLRDF would get more young persons from nearby rural areas to work in the citys emerging garment industry. Upgrading the infrastructure in a rural primary school The existing class room of a school in a village is old unsuitable for teaching the schools children studying in classes I, II, III, and IV. In the monsoon, rain water leaks into the schools building. Also, the school is short of space for teaching the growing number of children in the area. To meet this crying need for a better infrastructure, the NLRDF constructed in a nearby primary school, a room with RCC structure. In addition, the NLRDF provided the minimum teaching material and equipment that a school needs. After completion of the classroom, the NLRDF handed over to the school the better-equipped classroom Helping the rural poor in improving the yields in their farms Non-availability of good quality seeds and poor irrigation facilities impede the productivity of agriculture in rural India. Realizing this need, the NLRDF team provided improved Seeds to sixty-six families in the Tandalia village. These improved seed resulted in better-quality and higher yield for the farmers and required the farmers to use less quantity of water in their farms. Consequently,

the productivity of their farms improved. This experience of using better seeds motivated farmers to use good quality seeds in the future. In addition, the team supplied vegetable-seeds to the Self Help Groups of women in the area for their kitchen gardens. The Khedbrahma taluka of Gujarats Sabarkantha district, as we have pointed out above, is a hilly area. Consequently, the land of the area is extremely uneven and therefore, the rain water does not percolate. Obviously, the water table in the region is very low leading to poor crop yields. To remedy the situation, we decided to reduce the slope of the land. For doing so, we cut and filled the slopes, making the topography of the land less uneven. Upgrading the infrastructure in a rural schools The existing school buildings in villages Laxmipura, Kalol Naka and Tandalia in Sabarkanta district were old and unsuitable for teaching the schools children. Also, the school was short of space for teaching the growing number of children in the area. To meet this crying need for a better infrastructure, the NLRDF upgraded existing infrastructure and also constructed classrooms. In addition, the NLRDF provided the minimum teaching material and equipment that a school needed. After completion of the classroom, the NLRDF handed over to the school the betterequipped classroom. Training Widows for Entrepreneurship NLRDF is recognized by the Government of Gujarat as the lead institution to train widows in different entrepreneurial trainings. During 200711, in the area of entrepreneurship training, NLRDF has trained 9600 widows in 16 districts of Gujarat. They were motivated for their own small businesses or service oriented skills to earn more for their livelihood. The biggest benefit that our Trainee widows got was the self-confidence. Another noticeable

gain from this program is that they could step out of their houses confidently, which they could not do earlier. Promoting Biogas Other major contribution of NLRDF is to motivate people in rural areas to adopt biogas as an alternative source of energy. We helped install 962 bio gas plants in three districts of Gujarat namely Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts. Participation in National Aids Control Program Under National Aids Control Programme, NLRDF has brought remarkable change in the practices and behavior of the target group for HIV/AIDS control. The efforts of the Trust have been recognized by the Expert External Evaluators of the program and they have rated our performance as Very Good leading to our inclusion among top 5 NGOs in the State for 2009-10. We are working with 1050 key population of urban areas of Himmatnagar, Idar, and Khedbrahma of Sabarkanta District.

Organic Cotton Project& Bci Organic Cotton Project was born from a need to create value through innovation across the supply chain particularly in the area of raw material cotton. Arvind is a leading cotton textile manufacturer based in India with a significant global presence. With its dominance across the textile value chain, the company endeavors to be a one-stop shop for leading apparel brands. In order to complete the supply chain, Arvind has forayed into organic cotton production through contract farming model in order to source organic cotton that is of high quality; and a socioenvironmental need to sustain cotton farming production in a

socially fair manner that promotes the rural economy and creates a healthy ecosystem. Mission To encourage a transition from conventional fibre cultivation to an organic farming system by extending support and coordinating the dissemination of knowledge in a socially fair manner, this will promote the rural economy and create a healthy ecosystem. Vision To promote a vibrant rural economy that is driven by the sustainable growth of agriculture. Objectives

To develop and promote a business model that is environmentally sustainable To improve farm productivity and farmer incomes To enhance biodiversity of the rural landscape To develop a lasting social infrastructure and support system in the region

Organic Cotton Farming The cotton crop esentially requires a lot of water and extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As such, it has a dramatic impact on the quality of the soil, and moreover, on the environment. Organic cotton farming is the process of growing cotton naturally without the use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The only additives come in the form of organic manures, and the soil quality is controlled by means of rotational crops. The impact on the environment is reduced drastically, producing clean and safe cotton while creating a sustainable cycle. Organic farming is best suited for marginal farms with poor quality of soil. Arvind is working closely with the

farmers of the Vidarbha region in Akola to grow organic cotton. This initiative has helped to improve the livelihood of the farmers by dramatically increasing their per-acre income. A direct buyingat-doorstep policy and a seven day payment cycle, along with an elimination of all forms of exploitation by middlemen, has further helped improve the farmers income levels. What started out as a small project now encompasses 27,000 acres of farmland employing nearly 3,700 farmers. All the organic cotton produced at these organic farms is certified by the Control Union Certification, Netherlands. Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) With a focus on securing more and more sustainable cotton sources, we have closely involved ourselves with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a Swiss association working to reduce environmental and social impacts of cotton growing . The concept is to grow cotton with very carefully controled application of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, dramatically reducing the environmental footprint of cotton farming. These techniques work well in fertile and irrigated regions where organic farming is not economically viable. To ensure compliance, the BCI closely monitors and approves the farming practices carried out. Arvind initiated the first BCI approved project in India. The project covers over 10,000 acres of farmlands and involves working closely with nearly 1200 farmers. The project size is set to double within the next financial year Stock Information Name of the Stock Exchanges where the securities are listed Ahmedabad Stock Exchange Ltd.

Arvind Ltd. to expand retail stores Textile manufacturer Arvind Ltd. will open 120 retail format stores in five states across the country this fiscal Hyderabad: Textile manufacturer Arvind Ltd. will open 120 retail format stores in five states across the country this fiscal. Some of these stores would be companyowned and the rest, franchisees. The company currently has 13 such outlets, branded Arvind stores, and will expand to towns in states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, according to Kulin S Lalbhai, chief manager (retail), Arvind Ltd. Each store would entail an investment of Rs.50-70 lakh, and sell Arvinds apparel brands as well as custom-made fabric and denim solutions. By innovating on the retail platform, we are able to reach smaller parts of India along with the urban platforms, said Lalbhai. Further, the company, Lalbhai said, will expand all over the country, taking the number of Arvind Stores to 250 by 2012-13. It has set a target of Rs.400 crore from this segment by the end of financial year 2013
