X-Rite Pantone and NIFT Partner to Modernize India's Textile Education
To bridge the gap between creative design and manufacturing reality, X-Rite Pantone has entered a strategic partnership with India’s National Institute of Fashion Technology. The collaboration aims to standardize digital color management skills across the country’s fashion workforce, addressing the rising demand for consistency in global supply chains.
Beyond classroom instruction, the program establishes professional development pathways for NIFT faculty and alumni. Through a two-day Management Development Program and a specialized 'Trainer of Trainers' curriculum at the X-Rite Pantone Brand Experience Centre in Gurugram, the partners are creating a feedback loop between academic theory and practical industrial application. These sessions focus on quality control, color communication, and the implementation of digital workflows across sectors ranging from footwear to leather accessories. By aligning academic training with the technical requirements of global brands, the collaboration intends to solidify India's reputation as a hub for both creative excellence and manufacturing precision.
