About Pravas Kumar Sahu
I am a Textile Manufacturing & Operations Leader with 20+ years of experience driving AI-first, data-driven transformation across fabric manufacturing, sourcing, and supply chains. With a strong foundation in advanced manufacturing technologies, Industry 4.0, and smart factories, I specialize in applying predictive analytics, Generative AI, and digital quality systems to optimize yield, quality, cost, risk, and execution at scale. My career spans leading large-scale textile operations, commissioning advanced weaving and processing technologies, developing high-performance technical textiles, and embedding sustainability and compliance (Bluesign, OEKO-TEX, ISO) into core manufacturing strategy. Currently focused on business transformation and fabric sourcing optimization, I combine deep shop-floor expertise with AI-enabled decision frameworks to build resilient, future-ready textile value chains that deliver measurable business impact.
