For India Misstep Drives Logistics Focus

For India Misstep Drives Focus
Last month as Prada unveiled its  future designs,… included in the offering were open-toe leather sandals….. 
The sandals featured design elements of India’s classic, handcrafted footwear popularly known as ‘Kolhapuri chappals’
     The offering from Prada immediately drew protests of copying without acknowledging the geographical source or giving any credit to the artisans of Kolhapur who have created and delivered this footwear for centuries.
     The dust-up has brought additional focus on India’s burgeoning efforts to streamline and amplify its unique regional products.
     But beyond footwear, the Indian  Government’s latest move to promote the ‘One Airport, One Product’ scheme aims to revolutionize India’s logistics landscape, aligning closely with the ‘One District, One Product’ (ODOP) initiative that has gained momentum over the past few years.
