New Delhi, October 7, 2026: Mr. Harish Chandra, Chairman of Star International, is participating in the World Cotton Day Celebrations 2026 being organised by the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) in association with the Cotton Council of India and the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India.

The significant event is being held on 7th October 2026 at The Oberoi, Dr. Zakir Hussain Marg, New Delhi. The conference brings together important stakeholders from across the cotton and textile sector to discuss opportunities, challenges and the future of the cotton value chain.

For Star International, participation in such an industry-level gathering provides an opportunity to engage with leading voices from the textile and cotton sector and understand the developments shaping the industry.

Theme of World Cotton Day 2026

The theme of this year’s conference is:

“Cotton for Good: Building Prosperity Through Trade, Transformation and Partnership.”

The theme highlights the importance of collaboration and transformation in building a stronger and more competitive cotton industry.

Cotton is not only an important natural fibre but also supports a large network of farmers, manufacturers, traders, textile companies and other businesses. From cultivation and processing to manufacturing and international trade, millions of people are connected to the cotton value chain.

The theme therefore focuses on how better trade practices, innovation and partnerships can contribute to sustainable growth and create greater opportunities across the sector.

A Gathering of Industry Leaders and Experts

The World Cotton Day Celebrations 2026 are bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, global experts, researchers, farmers, brands, trade bodies and other stakeholders associated with the cotton and textile value chain.

Such a diverse gathering provides a platform for meaningful discussions on the changing requirements of the industry. It also allows participants to exchange ideas, share knowledge and explore possibilities for greater collaboration.

The participation of business leaders such as Mr. Harish Chandra reflects the importance of industry involvement in conversations surrounding the future of cotton and textiles.

Strengthening India’s Cotton and Textile Sector

India has a major role in the global cotton and textile industry. The cotton sector supports farmers as well as a wide range of businesses involved in spinning, weaving, processing, manufacturing and trade.

At the same time, the industry is experiencing changes driven by technology, international markets, sustainability requirements and evolving consumer expectations.

Events such as World Cotton Day provide an important platform to discuss these changes and identify practical ways to make the cotton value chain more resilient, sustainable and competitive.

The focus on trade, transformation and partnership is particularly relevant as businesses across the sector look for new opportunities while adapting to a changing global market.

An Opportunity for Knowledge and Collaboration

According to the invitation extended by CITI, the participation of delegates is expected to contribute to meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, networking and collaboration.

For industry representatives, these interactions can help develop a better understanding of current trends and create connections with other stakeholders working across different parts of the cotton and textile ecosystem.

Mr. Harish Chandra’s participation in the event also gives Star International an opportunity to be part of these industry discussions and connect with professionals, organisations and experts from the sector.

Looking Towards the Future

The future of the cotton industry will depend on how effectively different stakeholders work together. Farmers, manufacturers, traders, brands, policymakers and industry organisations all have an important role to play in creating a stronger value chain.

Innovation, responsible business practices, efficient trade and stronger partnerships can help the sector respond to emerging challenges while opening new avenues for growth.

The World Cotton Day Celebrations 2026 serve as an important reminder of this shared responsibility and the need for continued cooperation across the industry.
