THE PROFILE

2. THE COMPANY
Top Notch was founded in 1996 by Mr. Muralidhar and Mrs. Mary Joanna with a dream to build a globally recognised name in sourcing and supply management in the apparel industry. Having nearly twenty years of exposure and experience in the field of buying agency-handling, the couple has a unique expertise and knowledge about sourcing, merchandising, production plan & quality control, along with assisting the buyers in price negotiating and choosing the right products; making Top Notch a niche company in its field.
Since the time of its establishment, Top Notch has collaborated with several companies in Europe, growing in terms of size, volume of business and goodwill, along with its clients. Since the untimely death of Mr. Muralidhar in 2004, Mrs. Mary Joanna took over as managing director and is being assisted by Ms. Asumptha Ramani who oversees the marketing and development operations of the company. 2
