Raymond Group (Textile Culture)

To engage with Indian textile heritage and craftsmanship through its business and corporate responsibility work.

The Raymond Group, one of India's best-known textile and apparel companies, has a long heritage in Indian fabrics and craftsmanship. Its connection to culture lies principally in its engagement with textile traditions, weaving and craftsmanship, and it has undertaken corporate social-responsibility work in communities, though it is not primarily an arts-funding foundation.

Founded in the early twentieth century and grown into a major textile house, Raymond built its identity around Indian fabric and craftsmanship. Its cultural relevance is chiefly through the textile heritage embodied in its business, supplemented by corporate community work.
