Jaipur Living Rugs was founded in 1978 by Nand Kishore Chaudhary, alongside nine hardworking artisans who operated rug looms. Built on the principle of dignity, Mr. Chaudhary’s business employed many skilled craftsmen painstakingly trained in the century-old practice once looked upon as poor women's work and artists', but now known as the elite in their rare craft of making hand-knotted rugs. Jaipur works directly with Artisans in five states and 600 villages across India, enabling over 40,000 Artisans to provide for their families; additionally, 85% of these weavers are women, which has helped them gain financial independence.

Today, Mr. Chaudhary, along with his daughters Asha and Archana Chaudhary, Jaipur Living carries on their mission by creating beautiful lives for customers, employees, and the artisans who create the products, while preserving the centuries-old craftsmanship of handmade rug-making.

In these times of mass production and immediate gratification, everyday people here in America do not begin to understand the ancient art of rug weaving, and, because of this, it is in real danger of extinction. Just realizing the average hand-knotted rug takes 240 days to create (approximately the same time to build an average-sized home in the United States), on the front end, it is very labor-intensive, which can sometimes affect the quality of the rug. Jaipur is dedicated to preserving the quality, consistency, and integrity of this age-old craft and continues to develop intricately designed, high-quality rugs by building trust between the company and specially trained artisans, resulting in high-quality rugs at fair market pricing. It is comforting to learn that every purchase of a hand-woven rug from Jaipur directly supports a community of Artisans.
