How Direct-To-Customer Furnishing Is Empowering Craftspeople And Manufacturers In India
Mulroom transcends conventional boundaries, forging a new paradigm where technology and craftsmanship converge to redefine the very fabric of furniture design.
India’s furniture market, a vast and burgeoning landscape, has long been a realm of paradox: rich in potential, yet tethered to archaic systems. While consumer aspirations soar, the industry remains entrenched in fragmented supply chains and the inefficiencies of mass production. Enter Mulroom, a pioneering force that transcends conventional boundaries, forging a new paradigm where technology and craftsmanship converge to redefine the very fabric of furniture design.
Founded by Parikshit Guhabiswas, Mulroom was born out of a realization—while consumers had an abundance of furniture choices, the supply chain behind the industry remained outdated, inefficient, and unsustainable. Bulk production, excessive inventory, high markups, and limited customization options have long plagued the sector. Mulroom aims to solve these issues by introducing a lean, tech-enabled, direct-to-consumer (DTC) supply chain that eliminates middlemen, reduces waste, and enhances affordability.
At the heart of Mulroom’s disruption lies its intelligent, just-in-time manufacturing approach. Leveraging AI-powered demand forecasting, the company predicts market trends with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that each piece is crafted only when demand dictates. This eliminates the environmental burden of overproduction, while simultaneously enabling rapid response to evolving consumer preferences.
Technology plays a crucial role in Mulroom’s operations. The company leverages data analytics, AI-driven demand forecasting, and digital design tools to optimize the supply chain. This ensures a seamless, efficient process that benefits both consumers and manufacturers. Additionally, Mulroom is committed to fair pricing structures that support artisans and small-scale furniture makers, moving away from exploitative industry norms where large brands often underpay craftsmen while maximizing profit margins.
India’s furniture market has long struggled with issues such as limited personalization, high costs due to excessive inventory and middlemen, and a lack of sustainability initiatives. Mulroom’s entry into the market addresses these pain points by offering an alternative—furniture that is bespoke, ethically produced, and environmentally responsible. By prioritizing durability, repairability, and recyclability, the brand is introducing a circular economy approach, moving away from the wasteful “make-use-dispose” cycle that dominates the industry.
