Our Journey – The Story of Appar Global
At Appar Global, our story isn’t just about building a business—it’s about creating a legacy of innovation, trust, and impact. Officially launched in 2018, Appar Global’s journey began years earlier with a vision to transform industries and empower businesses worldwide. From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in global solutions, our evolution reflects resilience, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to excellence.
The Spark of Inspiration (2012–2014)
The roots of Appar Global trace back to 2012, when founder Khalid Hossen worked with leading global fashion and retail brands. While navigating complex supply chains and market challenges, he saw a glaring gap—businesses often had to choose between quality and affordability.
In 2014, he launched a small venture offering bespoke manufacturing services to local brands. The enthusiastic response proved the need for a broader, more scalable solution.
The Birth of Appar Global (2015–2018)
By 2015, it was clear that businesses required more than production—they needed end-to-end partnership. Appar Global was created to bridge that gap between vision and execution.
We spent our early years building relationships, refining services, and investing in technology. In 2018, Appar Global officially launched, expanding its scope to serve D2C brands with product development, manufacturing, and global sourcing support.
Navigating Challenges and Driving Growth (2018–2021)
From global market volatility to the COVID-19 pandemic, this period tested our resilience. Yet, each challenge sparked innovation. We rolled out new digital tools, emphasized sustainability, and expanded internationally—emerging stronger than ever.
