Disclaimer: This is a very heart to heart podcast ! Its also mostly in Hindi, and as Nand Kishore Chaudhary says, when hearts connect, language is not a barrier.

'The rugs to riches story', Nand Kishore chaudhary, often referred to as the ‘Gandhi of the Carpet Industry’, is a person with an enigmatic heart, full of empathy, love and spreading joy. He also happens to be the founder of Jaipur Rugs, as he very beautifully says: We are in the business of creating experiences, bonding families, beautifying homes and our carpets are free. 

NKC sir started his business with a vision to find his inner self, which absolutely resonates with my vision too! Covering a  journey of four decades, countless stories, and an indomitable spirit; full of love, compassion, and perseverance, NKC sir strongly believes that the future and the success of all businesses is emotional intelligence, how we connect with people, how we create a world of love, kindness, empathy, integrity, simplicity, humility and shared wisdom.

It is hard to compress this beautiful conversation as every sentence has a deeper, lifelong meaning to it, here are few glimpses of the same:

• If you love yourself, if you love what you do, and your people, it will start overflowing that it will touch others , that’s emotional intelligence
• Till the time you don’t dirty your hands and get deep in whatever you are doing, real success won’t come 
• Self love brings in self worth
• Real business happens when we are able to impact society

With just two looms and nine artisans in 1978, Jaipur Rugs today is  truly a global social enterprise, exporting to over 60 countries while providing sustainable livelihood to 40,000 artisans, in 600 remote villages across five states in India, out of which 80% of them are women.

This beautiful podcast is much deeper than it sounds.
