Activewear manufacturer TechnoSport has appointed Apoorva Kohli as its new General Manager – International Business, signaling a strategic push to capture growing demand for high-performance apparel in emerging global markets. Kohli's appointment reflects the brand’s focus on scaling its commercial footprint beyond domestic borders while leveraging its vertically integrated supply chain.
Targeting high-growth climate-matched markets
TechnoSport’s international growth plan focuses on cross-border markets sharing climatic similarities with India, allowing the company to deploy its proprietary moisture-wicking and UV-protective fabric technologies without major product re-engineering. Backed by Rs 175 crore in funding from A91 Partners, the brand is scaling manufacturing capacity and expanding distribution. Company leadership emphasizes that expanding international distribution helps mitigate domestic seasonal shifts while diversifying operational risk.
Navigating global retail competition
Establishing global brand equity presents execution challenges, including navigating local compliance standards, regional tariffs, and established activewear incumbents. However, TechnoSport’s cost-effective technical textiles and expanding network of 80 exclusive brand outlets offer a scalable foundation to capture price-sensitive international consumers seeking premium feature sets.
TechnoSport manufactures technically engineered activewear, athleisure, and performance accessories tailored for everyday fitness enthusiasts. Founded in 2007 with manufacturing roots in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, the brand operates over 80 exclusive stores and targets 130 outlets by FY27, backed by institutional funding to drive global market penetration.
