Sustainable Fashion Made Accessible
Suvastra India is here to help you make more conscious fashion choices! This company believes in sustainable fashion and produces 100% cotton products. To help move their goods, they relied on local vendors and their own vehicles, but the lack of agility and overall limitations led to logistic challenges. Porter Enterprise helped by enabling better fulfilment and on-time deliveries on a pay-per-use pricing model. By leveraging the service, Suvastra reduced their manhours, overall costs as well as vendor coordination time.

Sustainability is reshaping how customers think, which has been prevalent in the fashion industry in recent years. In 2010, Suvastra India stepped into the world of sustainable fashion and aimed to help people connect with responsibly sourced clothing. By following ethical and transparent practices, Suvastra works with sustainability as a core value to produce high-quality, well-designed and eco-conscious cotton products. Additionally, the company considers the needs of a wide-range stakeholders, starting from the farmers producing their cotton to their suppliers and employees.
Suvastra relied on local transporters to move their goods within states, leveraging them to move goods between their suppliers, factories as well as customers. They also had their own vehicles with limitations, including being unable to make multiple trips at a time. However, they encountered several challenges such as the two-way trip costs for ad hoc movements and having difficulty booking vehicles for odd-hour requirements. The overall lack of agility in the process resulted in wasted manhours and increased costs.
Suvastra was on the lookout for a logistics solution to streamline processes and help enable their vision of a sustainable fashion world.
In 2021, Porter Enterprise, a specialised logistics solution for businesses, jumped in to provide Suvastra with the ultimate fashion fix with its on-time, on-demand deliveries. Fulfilment improved substantially thanks to Porter’s extensive intracity network, since finding vehicles for ad hoc goods movement, including outstation, became easy. The pay-per-use pricing model meant that the company was charged only for the distance moved. Porter Enterprise’s centralised dashboard allowed the team to keep an eye on operations across multiple cities and enabled hassle-free reimbursements.
By leveraging the services from Porter Enterprise, Suvastra found the perfect fit for their needs. Manhours were reduced by 60%, overall costs were cut by 50% and the time taken to coordinate with logistics vendors was slashed by an impressive 90%. The accountability within the full logistics process improved and hassle-free deliveries were enabled, allowing Suvastra to focus on its mission to improve working conditions in the industry.
Speaking about the partnership, Jasim, CTO of Suvastra, said, “In our vision to make sustainable fashion more accessible, Porter Enterprise helps us by providing hassle-free and stress-free logistics. We can trust Porter Enterprise to execute anytime and on-time deliveries, which has helped us easily transport materials and goods between our warehouses to our third-party factories. The time-saving and cost-saving empower us to place greater focus on creating a community of happy stakeholders across the board.”
By partnering with Porter Enterprise, Suvastra now has a reliable logistics solution that enables them to uphold their commitment and deliver sustainable clothing across 20+ cities in India.
