Global organic cotton market is worth about US $ 7.4 billion and its growing awareness and demand is motivating the Indian exporter to look at this segment. Today, India tops the global list amid GOTS certified textile firms with more than 1,000 companies. New name in this list is Deep Texstyles, from Kolkata. Established in 1991, the company recently went in for major certifications including GOTS, Oeko-Tex, Sedex, SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) and now is in the process to get Fair Trade certification. Expecting good growth due to dedication towards organic, Soumodip Ghosal, Director of the company shared, “In the beginning one of our Spanish buyers insisted for GOTS certification and we went for the same. It motivated us and we increased our thrust on organic, so now we have all the major certifications and are expecting 25 per cent increase in orders.”
