Ernst & Young Honors Jaipur Founder
February 24, 2011
Jaipur Rugs Founder N.K. Chaudhary has
received a 2010 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
award.
Chaudhary received the honor in New Delhi for excellence in
the "Star-Up" category.
The criteria for the award go beyond running a successful
business. Winners also must demonstrate innovation and
exemplary levels of both professional and entrepreneurial
leadership.
"Our entire team here is elated at this prestigious honor my
father has received from such a highly respected
organization as Ernst & Young," said Asha Chaudhary,
Chaudhary's daughter and president of Jaipur Rugs' U.S.
operation. "On a personal level, it's incredibly rewarding
for me to see all of his years of hard work, passionate
commitment and singular vision recognized by the
international business community."
One of the Jaipur's main goals is to improve the standard of
living, education and income for its 40,000 weavers and
artisans throughout India. Chaudhary's ongoing work through
the Jaipur Rugs Foundation has allowed him to grow a
successful business but also the longer-reaching opportunity
to nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship within the
company's vast network of artisans and their families
through grassroots programs focusing on education,
healthcare, community stewardship and women’s empowerment.
