Dhawal Shah

Founder-Director

Dhawal Shah was just 19 when he stepped into the world of business. A dynamic & visionary entrepreneur, he worked from the ground up & single-handedly built a sofa making enterprise that today competes with iconic global brands. Dhawal started out in 1997 as a manufacturer of office chairs. It was a time when furniture making was an unorganized sector & premium quality upholstered furniture was practically non-existent. The space was largely dominated by local players and carpenters. Rising above challenges, Dhawal heralded a transformation, making customers aware of luxury & comfort in seating systems. Gifted with sharp business acumen & an innovative mindset, Dhawal traveled the world over, making alliances with globally renowned players. Combining celebrated Indian craftsmanship with superior quality global materials & cutting-edge technology, he pioneered high quality upholstered seating systems in India. His efforts have paid off well: Under the Furnitech banner, Indian customers today have the privilege of owning aesthetically appealing flawlessly crafted furniture pieces that live up to international standards at Indian prices. A quality-obsessed individual, Dhawal has been instrumental in infusing a culture of efficiency & excellence across the organization.
