Two distinct records, kept clearly separate.

Mike Abhijit's 26-year professional career is distinct from Texora10XGlobal's own engagements as a company founded in 2026. Both are shown here, clearly labelled — the Texora10XGlobal engagements as transformation stories: challenge, diagnosis, intervention, result and lesson.

Recent footwear transformation projects undertaken over the last two years as an independent consultant and, most recently, under Texora10XGlobal.

Texora10XGlobal Engagement

GEOX Italia

Leather Footwear · Stuck-on Process9 months
Process Optimisation · QMS · OTD Improvement

The challenge: An export-oriented leather footwear operation using stuck-on construction, with process gaps affecting consistency and delivery reliability.

The diagnosis: Process discipline and quality-control gaps identified at key stuck-on process stations, contributing to variable OTD performance.

The intervention: Process optimisation, tightened quality checkpoints and OTD-focused operating rhythm introduced at the line level.

The result:

70% — current programme progress

The lesson: Process and quality discipline have to be rebuilt station by station — a blanket policy change rarely moves OTD on its own.

Texora10XGlobal Engagement

PUMA India / GSB Footwear

Sports Footwear12 months, ongoing
Change Management · Lean · QMS · Manufacturing Excellence

The challenge: A sports footwear vertical needing Lean discipline, quality management and workforce engagement without disrupting live production.

The diagnosis: Improvement opportunity across process discipline, quality management and day-to-day workforce ownership of KPIs.

The intervention: Lean practices, quality-management systems, process discipline and structured change management deployed alongside continuous production.

The result:

75% — current programme progress

The lesson: Transformation while the line keeps running requires change management to move at the same pace as the technical work — not after it.

Liberty Shoes Ltd.

Brownfield Transformation · ~75-Year Legacy OrganisationOngoing
PMS · QMS · Process Optimisation · Change Management

The challenge: An established, ~75-year-old footwear organisation needing performance-management, quality and process modernisation without losing what already works.

The diagnosis: Legacy PMS, QMS and process structures identified as the priority levers for a brownfield transformation of this scale.

The intervention: Performance-management restructuring, QMS strengthening, process optimisation and change management run in parallel across the organisation.

The result:

55% — current programme progress

The lesson: A legacy organisation needs its own operating pace — brownfield transformation succeeds by working with existing structure, not against it.

Progress figures are the current, self-reported programme status shared for these engagements. Final scope, baseline, target and measurement method are agreed with each client at programme mobilisation — they are not independently audited results.
