Journey by Far
Saraswatii Global's journey to where it is today began in 1978 in Churu, Rajasthan. Initiated with a handful of weavers from the rural regions but a strong vision, the company quickly spread roots in the Indian markets. Since 1978, Saraswati Global has been perfecting the art of making exquisite and quintessential hand-made rugs for homes and businesses alike.
Mr. M K Choudhary was intrigued by the carpet weaving business & started this cottage industry by establishing a small business house in Churu. He learnt about all the nuances of carpet manufacturing & was inspired to take this business on a global platform. He was extremely humbled to see the hard work of artisans & wanted to create a better life for them. With benevolence for the tribals filled in his heart Mr. M K Choudhary established a production plant for hand knotted rugs at Dharampur, Gujarat to provide sustainable livelihood for the tribal communities.
Since its inception in 2012, Saraswati Global Foundation has been working towards improving the lives of the marginalized and deprived communities across rural areas in India. The Foundation strives to achieve sustainable development by undertaking initiatives towards enhancing rural livelihoods, offering education facilities, providing access to quality health care and empowering women.
Mr. M K Choudhary laid the foundation of Saraswati Global Pvt ltd with just 2 looms, with a vision to succeed in the business of carpet manufacturing & to create a better & dignified future for the workers & Artisans. He started the company with his mother's maiden name, Saraswati, naming it "Saraswati Exports.
Mr. M K Choudhary was filled with the aspiration to establish Saraswati as a leading Export house & he wholeheartedly started working to accomplish it. With passage of time more & more people started identifying with his vision & the strength of Saraswati increased manifolds. The very first laurel came to Saraswati in the form of "Hand Knotted Woollen Carpet Highest Export for the year 1993-1994". 1994-1997: Saraswati Exports slayed its competitors by getting" Gold Trophy Certificate for export Performance" for 4 consecutive years.
To increase the export & trading of rugs Mr Choudhary created a subsidiary to Saraswati, naming it Amer Rugs with a handful of employees (which has gradually grown its roots as a leading trading house & more than 10000 employees).
