Meet Amit

Twenty-five years around looms, buyers, and balance sheets — and the lessons I've taken from all of it. This is the journey, not a profile.

About Amit

I grew up around looms, yarn, carpets, buyers, artisans, production floors, and export deadlines. What began as a family trade became, over 25 years, my school for business, people, systems, money, and discipline.

My work has taken me through handmade rugs, carpets, cushions, poufs, wall hangings, home furnishings, ecommerce, apparel, technology, and business systems. I have learned from buyer meetings, costing sheets, quality problems, documentation pressure, shipment delays, team building, vendor coordination, and the daily realities of running a growing business.

Along the way, I started writing what I was learning. I also started building the software, tools, and systems I wished existed — ways to track production, follow-ups, costing, vendors, inventory, accountability, and team performance.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of exports, books, ERP systems, coaching, investing, and practical business education.

I do not write from theory. I write from real mistakes, real factories, real buyers, real pressure, and real learning.

How I think

I don't believe in shortcuts dressed up as strategy. A business grows when the fundamentals are sound: you know your numbers, you understand your buyer, and you build systems that hold up when you're not in the room.

The same is true of money. Inflation quietly erodes what sits idle, so capital needs a plan and a discipline — not a hot tip. And the same is true of craft: the artisans who make our rugs deserve a livelihood that lasts, not a season of work.

If there's a thread through everything on this site, it's that — do the patient, unglamorous work well, and the results follow.
