How we got here
Kartik Sourcing is founded in India as a textile sourcing and development company serving global fashion brands.
The company builds a global supplier network across mills, weaving units, dye houses, finishing facilities, and logistics partners.
Kartik expands its sourcing ecosystem to include more than 2000 suppliers and a textile library exceeding 500,000 materials.
Tyche is created as the digital interface to this sourcing ecosystem. The goal is simple: to make professional textile sourcing accessible while still supporting large scale production for brands that require it.
Our capabilities
Sourcing fabrics from a global supplier network while also developing custom materials aligned to brand requirements, seasonal direction, cost targets, and production scalability.
The internal R&D division continuously explores new material technologies, fabric constructions, blends, and finishes that respond to changing fashion and sustainability demands.
All materials undergo performance testing including color fastness, shading, wash tests, flammability, chemical composition, and durability. Third party testing through Bureau Veritas and SGS.
Every batch undergoes detailed inspection before shipment. Up to 27 performance and quality checks may be conducted depending on the material and its end use.
Fabrics are carefully cleaned, packed, and stored in controlled inventory environments to ensure they remain protected from humidity, contamination, and environmental damage.
Kartik coordinates the complete supply chain including mill communication, production tracking, time and action planning, and shipment coordination.
The team manages domestic and international logistics to ensure deliveries arrive safely and on schedule.
Materials are machine packed and prepared for shipping to ensure fabrics reach brands exactly as intended and production ready.
Brands may choose to have Kartik manage customs clearance or handle it independently depending on operational preference.
Our process
Brands share inspiration references, mood boards, technical requirements, or sample fabrics.
The sourcing team reviews suitable materials from the supplier network.
Options are reviewed together either remotely or through in person visits.
Swatching and sampling are conducted to finalize selections.
Bulk production begins once materials are approved. Typical production timelines are approximately 14 days including quality checks.
