Prasanta Sarkar with factory team on shop floor

If you are reading OCS posts and following me for long time, you might know what kind of posts I write. I have written many posts on various topics related garment manufacturing. Most of them are published here. Online Clothing Study is No.1 online resource in the world for learning apparel manufacturing for apparel students and professionals.

I have been often asked how I learned so much and in multiple fields at the same time. So, I thought of making a list of the companies and organisations I am currently associated and I was associated in past. Companies where I did my educational projects. Companies where I worked. Companies where I was associated. Wherever I visited or worked I learned many things from the company. I shared my learning in Online Clothing Study in article form. I gained knowledge over discussion with factory team, during the round to the production floor and other facilities. I learned things when did improvement projects implementation in factories.

Today it is difficult to remember all company names. So this is not the complete list of my work and association.

In past I worked in a garment export house. Closely worked with a buying hose and a printing unit. I worked in a Garment Consultancy firm. Currently I am associated with an IT company.
