Allegations by Workforce
Nasir Mansoor, a known figure at labour rights forums and the deputy-general secretary of PNFTU (Pakistan National Federation of Trade Union), dismissed a defensive claim made by Khaadi Headquarters in response to allegations by Khaadi factory employees.
According to allegations, the garment company had violated many of the workers’ rights, ranging from failing to provide workers with official written recruitment letters. to refuse to issue mandatory Social Security Institution (SSI) deposits, risking employee job stability & well-being.
Launch of New Products
By 2002, it was manufacturing female’s wear, and by 2008, it had grown into female’s luxury wear with the launch of Khaadi Khaas. Khaadi transformed into a huge retail brand in 2012, when it planned to grow with the client and launch vibrant lawn prints. It launched furniture, bags, bed sheets, shoes, and accessories, quickly becoming an entire lifestyle brand.
