A dedicated call centre has been established to facilitate communication and encourage more traders to join the movement. Akshay Jain, President of the Indore Retail Garments Association, announced that they amassed data on around 10 lakh traders from various social and nationalist organisations. The goal is to appeal to these traders not only to stop selling foreign garments from China and Bangladesh but also to reject products from Turkey and Azerbaijan. "Our message has already reached over 350,000 consumers," Jain said. The association claimed to return stocks worth Rs 20 crore purchased from stockists dealing in foreign clothing, particularly in light of these countries' support for Pakistan amidst ongoing conflicts with India. The initiative garnered significant support, with more than 600 retail garment traders pledging to refrain from selling clothes sourced from China and Bangladesh. The association said that as a result of this boycott, local market will shift its focus towards ready-made garments produced in cities such as Ludhiana, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bellary, Surat, Jaipur, and Indore, aiming to strengthen local garment industry and reduce reliance on foreign imports.
