At SASMIRA, our Technical Wing serves as the backbone of our mission — advancing the frontiers of textile science through rigorous research, innovation, and uncompromising quality standards. As the head of R&D and Testing, I have the privilege of leading a team of dedicated scientists, engineers, and technologists who are committed to translating complex scientific concepts into practical, industry ready solutions.

Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities capable of meeting international testing standards, enabling us to develop and validate advanced materials, high-performance technical textiles, and sustainable processing methods. We address diverse sectors — from agrotextiles and protective textiles to geotextiles, medical textiles, and functional fabrics — ensuring that our innovations align with both national priorities and global benchmarks.

Beyond product development, we focus on life cycle assessment (LCA), material performance optimization, and compliance with stringent quality and safety norms. These initiatives not only enhance the competitiveness of Indian textiles but also contribute to reducing environmental impact and promoting circular economy practices.

Our approach is collaborative working closely with industry partners, academia, and policy makers to accelerate technology adoption, upgrade skill sets, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. This synergy enables us to address emerging challenges such as climate-responsive materials, smart textiles, and advanced manufacturing processes with precision and foresight.

I invite you to engage with SASMIRA’s technical capabilities, explore our R&D breakthroughs, and partner with us in shaping a future where Indian textiles are synonymous with innovation, quality, and sustainability.
