2019年3月，Vivek准备根据他对印度时尚供应链劳动条件的研究提交一份报告。这一介绍是一系列活动的一部分，旨在吸引利益攸关方，包括向全球大品牌供货的印度出口商。然而，就在预定活动开始前两个小时，Vivek收到了令人惊讶的消息：主要联系人，行业内的一位看门人，已经决定退出，并要求出口商抵制这次活动。面对这突如其来的挫折，维韦克紧急呼叫了看门人和其他重要的行业成员。很快就很明显，他们反对这份报告，因为它强调了研究发现的负面做法。行业看门人希望保护行业的声誉，避免对其劳动实践的审查。因此，在数百名受邀者中，只有30人出席了活动。虽然一些与会者表示支持研究报告及其目标，但相当一部分听众抵制研究结果，甚至表示愤怒。该活动突出了研究结果与行业利益相关者的既得利益之间的紧张关系，强调了在行业实践中实现有意义的变革所涉及的复杂性。
In March 2019, Vivek was preparing to present a report based on his research on the labour conditions in fashion supply chains in India. This presentation was part of a series of events aimed at engaging stakeholders, including exporters in India who supply to large brands worldwide. However, just two hours before the scheduled event, Vivek received surprising news: the main point of contact, a gatekeeper in the industry, had decided to withdraw and asked the exporters to boycott the event. Facing this sudden setback, Vivek urgently called the gatekeeper and other key industry members. It quickly became apparent that they were opposed to the report because it highlighted the negative practices uncovered by the research. The industry gatekeepers wanted to protect the industry’s reputation and avoid scrutiny of their labour practices. Consequently, out of the hundreds of invitees, only 30 showed up at the event. While some attendees expressed support for the research report and its objectives, a significant portion of the audience resisted the findings and even expressed anger. The event highlighted the tension between the research findings and the vested interests of industry stakeholders, underscoring the complexities involved in bringing about meaningful change in industry practices.
