Too much of memorabilia, all of these golden moments. I would like to keep all to myself. Brother, you'll be always missed 😢 This picture was captured on 24th December couple of years back. PC. Vinita Saxena

He conducted a seminar on 6Sigma and RFID in delhi for TITOBA, after passing out in 1974 this was the first function for TITOBA which I attended. I drive to Delhi to attend the same never knowing how it is going to change me completely. I was so impressed by the talk of Jagdish Barik that I started working on how to achieve this in sweater manufacturing. And in 2010 I got a chance to bring to practice the procedures I worked on. I friend of mine a sweater manufacturer asked me what shall be maximum variation in a sweater? I said 2 mm. He said in his factory upto 1.5 inch is considered industry standard. My reply to him was your masters have little knowledge, they are called masters but are not even students of the subject. And we started working on my plans and fortunately I got s break. He got orders to make cashmere sweaters . We made 5000 plus sweaters kept the wastage below 2% zero rejection and my claim was if any measurement would be more than 1/2 cm we will destroy the garment. 0 rejection and on top of that we were able to bring the knit to pack time below 7 days from standard 21 days. Jagdish Barik published a case sutdy on his magazine Lean Sigma. And with this I wrote an article on sweater geometry which was published in the knitting industry and the Knitting International magazine and thereafter in many magazines. After it was published in The Knitting Industry web portal, I got this email from Billy Hunter, " Sunil good articles are read 200-250 times some very good articles are read 1000-1250 times, but your article has been hit more than 10000 times." And with this I started writing the book A Guide To Fully Fashioned Sweater Manufacturing. And the FTI award I got from the Textile Institute Manchester is outcome of the journey I started after attending the seminar. We became very close after the seminar. And I always told him that you changed my complete life. And he did it.
