About Synerg – Your Apparel Sourcing & Clothing Manufacturing Partner in Tirupur, India

Synerg is a clothing sourcing and manufacturing partner based in Tirupur, India, run by two hands-on partners who have grown through the factory floor, not just boardrooms. Since 2004, we’ve been helping global fashion brands, retailers and labels connect with the right knitwear and apparel factories in India – managing everything from fabric sourcing and sampling to bulk production, quality control and shipping.

Built on our core principle of PQS – Price, Quality and Service, Synerg works as an extension of your team: translating your tech packs, fits and brand expectations into reliable, export-ready production on the ground. With a small, senior team of merchandisers and quality controllers, we focus on clear communication, ethical and compliant factories, and practical problem-solving at every stage of the order, so that buying from India feels structured, predictable and long-term.

The Partners Behind Synerg’s Sourcing & Manufacturing Model

Together, Karthikeyan and Kathiresan combine international sourcing experience with deep Tirupur factory knowledge to manage every program with PQS – Price, Quality and Service.

Over the past 20+ years, they’ve helped fashion brands across the UK, Europe, the USA and the Middle East build reliable supply chains in India across T-shirts, hoodies, kidswear, babywear, pajamas, streetwear and everyday fashion basics.

Karthikeyan – Founder, Synerg

20+ years in apparel sourcing · London-educated (MIB)

Over the last 20+ years, Karthikeyan has built Synerg around one simple idea: connect serious global brands with the right factories in Tirupur, not just the cheapest ones. After completing his Master’s in International Business from London Metropolitan University, he returned to India to set up Synerg in 2004 and has been managing international programs ever since.

Today he oversees sourcing strategy, factory onboarding, and client relationships across men’s, women’s, and kidswear. From the first tech pack to final shipment, his focus is always on PQS – Price, Quality and Service – making sure every program is practical, transparent, and aligned with each brand’s expectations.

Kathiresan – MD, Synerg

20+ years in production & QA · Ex-Tubeknit / Dutch brands

Starting his career on the factory floor, Kathiresan learned apparel manufacturing from the inside out – from yarn depots and sewing lines to merchandiser and QC roles in leading Tirupur factories. Over time he has handled development and production for well-known European children’s brands, managing everything from fabric selection and sampling to bulk approvals and delivery timelines.

At Synerg, he leads production, merchandising, and quality execution. His strength is turning designs into reliable, repeatable production – troubleshooting issues early, coordinating with certified factories, and ensuring every order meets the agreed specs, timelines, and PQS standards that Synerg stands for.

Our Story & Mission

Synerg began in 2004 with a simple idea — to make working with clothing manufacturers in India as structured, transparent, and reliable as working with any top global supply chain partner. From a small team in Tirupur, we have grown into a specialised sourcing office that bridges international fashion brands with the right knitwear and apparel factories, without compromising on ethics or quality.

Our mission is to combine India’s production strengths with a clear, process-driven sourcing model built around PQS – Price, Quality and Service. Every program we handle — whether it’s men’s, women’s or kidswear — is managed with careful vendor selection, clear communication, and hands-on quality control so that buyers feel supported from the first email to the final shipment.

How We Work With Global Fashion Brands

Working with Synerg is designed to feel structured, predictable, and low-stress — especially if you’re managing multiple collections or suppliers.

1. Discovery & Brand Fit

We start with a detailed discussion about your brand, target market, price points, and product categories — from T-shirts and hoodies to kidswear, loungewear, and specialty programs. This helps us shortlist the right factories in Tirupur and other hubs instead of treating every order the same.

2. Vendor & Factory Mapping

Based on your brief and compliance needs, we match you with suitable apparel manufacturers from our network — from GOTS / OEKO-TEX linked units to flexible mid-sized factories. You get clarity on capabilities, MOQs, lead times, and price levels before committing.

3. Sampling & Costing

Our team reviews your tech packs, CADs, or reference samples, coordinates fabric and trim options, and manages proto / fit samples with the selected factories. We share transparent costing, realistic timelines, and practical suggestions to balance quality and budget.

4. Order Execution & Quality Control

Once orders are placed, our merchandisers and on-ground QC team monitor bulk production — from fabric approvals and lab tests to inline and final inspections. You receive regular updates, photos, and reports so there are no last-minute surprises.

5. Shipping, Documentation & Long-Term Support

We support you till shipment — coordinating packing approvals, documentation, testing reports, and handover to your nominated forwarder. For repeat programs, we help you refine fits, improve margins, and scale volumes with the same or upgraded factories.

For programs that require higher compliance, we work with a curated network of export-focused factories in Tirupur that maintain certifications such as Sedex/SMETA, BSCI, WRAP, GOTS and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, depending on the buyer and product. Not every brand needs the same audit level, so we match each collection with the right compliant factory instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all setup. This approach benefits global brands to balance price, quality and service (PQS) with the level of compliance their retail partners expect.
