Jaipur Rugs’ new launch, ‘Jaipur Rural Tours...…back to basics’

Jaipur Rugs Company is a globally recognized manufacturer and exporter of rugs and carpets, embellishing the world with its exquisite creations since three decades. Company’s new venture is turning to be the latest buzz in the tourism industry. Jaipur Rural Tours (JRT) is a company launched with a motive to bestow the travelers a sojourn that is one of its kinds. We all are familiar with the number of tour operators and packages prevailing in the market, providing all fancy packages. These extremely target on facilitating the travelers with accommodations, food and activities like sightseeing, animal ride, etc. What they actually lack is, that true practical experience, which one can feel being at a beautiful ethnic village.

Mr. N.K. Chaudhary, Chairman & Managing Director of Jaipur Rugs, is fond of rich and rural culture of Rajasthan villages and is constantly striving to upgrade the deprived communities. He believes with such an exposure one can be a part of heritage and traditions intact in villages.

Jaipur Rural Tours…back to basics is conceived to let travelers experience the authentic village activities. Observing the manufacturing process is far more beyond than performing the same. Over here at Narhet along with the JRT team one can actually participate in making mud pots, handicraft items, rugs, etc.

Narhet village, Thanagazi block of Alwar district, Rajasthan, boasts an interesting history of more than 500 years, situated at a distance of about 60 km from Jaipur. It lays on Jaipur-Delhi highway, surrounded with Aravallis, one hour ride and you are there to relish a mesmerizing stay. The village is all set with basic amenities and loaded with a number of things to do. Through this venture, tourists and visitors can be facilitated to visit many authentic villages of Rajasthan, filled with aromas of charcoal fumes, combined with camel caravans and enthralling performances by traditional dancers and singers.
Jaipur Rural Tours mission’s to extend the reach and benefit travelers by enriching their visit with rich glorious culture of rural Rajasthan, benefiting a closer encounter.

Management Guru Discusses 'Creative Capitalism'

December 24, 2008 - C.K. Prahalad is a management thinker and author of the best-selling The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: I am very interested in opportunities that incorporate the poor at the bottom of the pyramid into the global supply chain, not just at the local level. For example, I am writing a case study of an Indian company called Jaipur Rugs. They receive wool from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, China and Argentina. It is then blended with wool from Rajasthan in India. 40,000 women in rural India create classical and contemporary handmade carpets that are then sold in the United States. This is the ultimate global supply chain, where the poor are woven into the supply chain. This is the democratization of commerce.

6th August 2008: Converting the poor into micro-consumers and micro-producers—recognising the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid—has changed the character of the economy. Yes, there are still 200 million Indians who live in abject poverty. But the cell phone revolution, two-wheelers, consumer finance, and consumer goods of all kinds are fuelling the economy and changing peoples’ lives. Cell phones have shown that there is a huge untapped market. Amul, ITC eChoupal, Jaipur rugs, EID Parry and Reliance Fresh are showing us that we can creatively connect subsistence farmers to regional and national markets. Micro-producers can get a chance to improve their livelihoods.
