‘I always wanted to visit jaipur for its architectural beauty and monuments. and I was attracted to the innovative jaipur rugs business model and its mission, which to me is more a social enterprise than a typical global company that just cares about maximizing profits at the expense of craftsmen,’ comments matteo cibic.
