HOW AJAY ARORA OF D'DÉCOR TURNED

When you think of luxury home furnishings, your mind might drift to plush curtains, lavish upholstery, and elegant décor that defines the ambiance of a room. But behind every curtain, every fabric, there’s a story. And in the world of home textiles, one name reigns supreme: D’Décor.

With operations across five state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a presence in over 65 countries, D’Décor is a global leader in the home textile industry.

But how did this remarkable journey unfold? Let’s peel back the curtain on D’Décor’s rise to success.
