"Nothing is wasted here."

Multi-generational workshops. Ship dismantling. Building demolition. Everything gets repurposed.

The 32 Offices

One of my guys has offices in 32 parts of India. His teams go door to door asking if people want to sell their old unique things. Everything gets gathered at each office, then truckloads go back to Jodhpur where they repurpose it all. He also gets first right of refusal on demolished buildings — beams, flooring, doors, windows, all the architectural salvage gets transported back. They even dismantle old ships and take the flooring to repurpose into furniture or new flooring. Nothing gets wasted. In the factories, they reuse and repurpose everything. Not a single piece of wood goes unused.

Three Generations, One Workshop

Father carving. Son sanding. Grandson sweeping. It's real. I've seen it. These are multi-generational family businesses where the craft gets passed down. They're incredibly creative — a lot of things I get from India, people say 'that's from India?' because it doesn't look like what they expect. They make industrial pieces from scratch using architectural flooring and old reclaimed pieces.

Real Relationships

"India is very family. They become real friends. I was in a couple of weddings there. Dinners every time I go. Got to work out extra. These aren't buyer-seller relationships — they're friendships, family connections."
