Jaipur is India’s leading and most awarded brand of handmade rugs. Founded in 1978, Jaipur revolutionized the carpet industry by creating an entirely new business model - working directly with artisans and uplifting their lives and communities as a result. Since then, we have grown to become a global, award-winning brand, sharing our unique point of view through our range of home décor products. Everything we do is as meaningful as it is beautiful - in touch with the latest global trends, but grounded in a deeper understanding of life and living spaces. In 1978, Mr. N.K.Chaudhary, Chairman of Jaipur Rugs, initiated his carpet business operations with just two looms and 9 artisans. Today, it has converted into a network of 40,000 artisan spread across 600 villages of India. Starting with a belief in the enormous potential of Indian artisans, he decided to form a company that would showcase this potential to the world, while also upgrading the weaving techniques and lives of the artisans. Headquartered in Jaipur, India and with an international office in Atlanta, USA, Jaipur is committed to pursuing business practices that not only produce beautiful, luxurious carpets, but one that helps its artisans hone their skills in a secure environment.
