	== ~~About~~ ==		== History ==
	In 1978, ~~Mr. N K Chaudhary~~, ~~Chairman~~ of ~~Jaipur Rugs, initiated~~ his ~~carpet~~ business ~~operations~~ with ~~just~~ two looms and ~~9 artisans~~. ~~Over time~~ he moved to Gujarat and the ~~business operations were expanded primarily in tribal regions~~. ~~Chaudhary moved~~ to ~~Jaipur~~ in ~~1999~~, to ~~launch his independent firm called~~ Jaipur Carpets. Jaipur Carpets was ~~changed to~~ Jaipur Rugs ~~Company~~ Pvt Ltd in ~~2006~~. ~~Today~~, it has ~~converted into~~ a network of ~~40,000~~ artisans, ~~spread across 600 villages~~ of ~~India~~.		'''(1978 - 1988)''': Jaipur Rugs was founded by Nand Kishore Chaudhary in 1978. Nand Kishore had grown up seeing the plight of underpaid carpet weavers who often came from marginalized social backgrounds, and he started the business as a social venture to help them, with a loan of 5000 rupees that he took from his father. It was a small business to begin with, where Nand worked with 9 carpet weaving artisans on two looms in his hometown of Churu, Rajasthan. According to Nand Kishore, he based the business on the principles of dignity, compassion, empathy and love. Within three years, he had set up ten more looms in the regions of Ratangad, Sujangad, Laxmangarh and Jodhpur in Rajasthan, and without the presence of middlemen, the firm continued to grow and prosper.

			'''(1989 - 2000)''': In 1989, Nand Kishore moved to Gujarat to connect with the tribal artisans of the region. He continued to grow the network of weavers across the state and eventually set-up a small-scale industry in Valsad, Gujarat, to carry out the exports of that region. By 1992, there was a full-fledged network of artisans across the state’s rural areas, and by 1997, the network included more than 6,000 weavers from across the state. By 2000, the network had grown to 10,000 weavers.

			'''(2001 - 2012)''': After spending 13 years in Gujarat, Nand Kishore returned to Jaipur, Rajasthan, in 2003. He consolidated all the networks and brought them under the banner name of Jaipur Carpets. His eldest daughter, Asha, joined the business as well. Asha joined the offshoot Jaipur Rugs Inc. in the United States and headed the office from there. Soon after, Nand Kishore’s younger daughter Archana also joined the business as Director of Quality Assurance at Jaipur Living. In 2004, Jaipur Rugs Foundation was set-up under the Rajasthan Public Trust to engage, develop and sustain the artisan network.

			In 2006, Jaipur Carpets was officially renamed as Jaipur Rugs (Pvt Ltd) and Nand Kishore’s younger daughter and son, Kavita and Yogesh, joined the company as well as heads of Design and Sales/Marketing respectively. The artisan network base had reached an astonishing 40,000, and in 2007, Jaipur Rugs marked the production milestone of one million square feet of hand-knotted carpets. In the following years, the company continued to grow and modernize rapidly. Showroom space for stores across India doubled, and hand-painted maps that weavers used were changed for Computer Aided Designs. Jaipur Rugs became recognized internationally as it was featured in ‘[[The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid\|Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid]]’ by CK Prahalad. Soon after in 2010, Nand Kishore was bestowed with the Ernst and Young: Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2012, He spoke at a TEDx event hosted by IIM - Ranchi. The same year, the Artisan Originals (Manchaha) initiative was launched. The Manchaha collection was a first of its kind initiative where weavers would design the rugs themselves. It went on to win multiple awards and gained recognition worldwide. It also paved the way for the Freedom Manchaha collection, which was started to provide dignified work to prison inmates in jails all over Rajasthan.

			'''(2013 - Present)''': In the previous decade, Jaipur Rugs has gone on to become a very recognizable brand worldwide. The year 2013 saw the launch of Jaipur Rugs’ first contemporary hand-knotted collection 'Chaos Theory'. It was launched at Domotex 2013, in Hannover, Germany. Jaipur Rugs won a special mention in the [[German Design Award\|German Design Awards]] 2016. Jaipur Rugs further went on to win the award two more times, consecutively. In 2018, Nand Kishore’s youngest son joined Jaipur Rugs as well. As of now, Jaipur Rugs has a significant presence in 5 of the largest states of India. It is headquartered in Jaipur, and has showrooms in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Jaipur Rugs also provides world-wide delivery of their products across 60 countries through their website.
