Ep. 19: Umer Farooq Qureshi - Disruptive Product Leader / Textile-to-Tech Strategist / AI for Brand Protection

from Jeansland Podcast · host Jeansland

Andrew and Umer Farooq Qureshi pull back the denim curtain to reveal Levi’s jaw-dropping 62% margin is built on supplier suffering. From closed-door biddings to so-called partnerships, from collapsing currencies to cotton politics, this episode shows exactly how the kings (brands) are bleeding the commoners (factories) dry, and what happens when the commoners stop playing nice. This isn’t just a talk about jeans. It’s about fairness, futures, and who gets crushed when a spreadsheet wins.👉 Want the backstory? This whole conversation was sparked by Umer’s LinkedIn post: The Things No One Tells You but You Should Know If You’re a Levi’s SupplierPlease follow us on: Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
