FAQ
Answered, honestly.
- What is SwatchBharath?
- SwatchBharath is a session-driven digital swatchbook for textile fabric suppliers and their clients. Suppliers curate fabric collections, run physical or online review sessions on a tablet, and finalize selections with a clear paper trail.
- Who uses SwatchBharath?
- Fabric mills, textile agents, and fashion houses across India — Surat, Tiruppur, Bhiwandi, Erode, Ludhiana, Mumbai, Bengaluru and beyond — together with the buyers, designers, and merchandisers they sell to.
- What is a 'session'?
- A session is a curated review event between a supplier and a client. It can be physical (split-screen on a showroom tablet) or online (a shareable link). Both modes support real-time like, shortlist, finalize, and notes.
- How is this different from sending photos on WhatsApp?
- WhatsApp loses context. SwatchBharath keeps every decision — like, shortlist, finalize, reject, and notes — permanently attached to the swatch and to the buyer, with timestamps. You also generate a pull list for the warehouse instead of guessing at the end.
- Can clients see all our fabrics?
- No. Clients only see the collections you've explicitly attached to their session. The rest of your catalogue stays private.
- Does it generate AI garment mockups?
- Yes. SwatchBharath uses on-platform AI to render any swatch as a garment mockup (kurta, shirt, saree, etc.) so clients can see the fabric in context before committing to a sample.
- Do you support physical samples?
- Yes. Each swatch has a physical ID. When a session is finalized, you generate a pull list with those IDs so the warehouse can pick the right cloth without guesswork.
- What does it cost?
- Starter is free forever. Studio is ₹4,999/month for active fabric houses. Mill plans are custom for multi-warehouse mills with 50+ buyers. All pricing is in Indian rupees, no foreign card needed.
- Is my catalogue secure?
- Your catalogue is yours. Permission-aware sharing means clients only see what you attach to their session. We never use your data to train models or share it with third parties.
- Will it work on a 4G connection in the showroom?
- Yes. SwatchBharath is built for showroom tablets and Indian mobile networks — image-light gallery, lazy loading, and offline-tolerant interactions where possible.
