Classic Marble Company

What Classic Marble Company does

Classic Marble Company (CMC) is a Mumbai-headquartered, founder-led Indian private company that imports, processes, and distributes natural and engineered marble and related surface products. Founded in 1994 by Amit Shah, CMC operates a 250,000 m2 natural-marble manufacturing and processing facility in Silvassa, a 9th Avenue flagship gallery (marketed as the world's largest marble gallery), and a Mumbai Worli showroom. Its portfolio spans more than 500 varieties of natural marble sourced from 50+ countries, the proprietary KalingaStone engineered marble brand (now exported to 67+ countries with exclusive Microban antibacterial technology), Techlam slim tiles distributed via a Spanish partnership, and the Forza360 Italian processing technology (Prometec partnership) for enhanced marble durability. Over 30 years CMC has supplied more than 150 million sq. ft. of marble across 5,000+ projects.

CMC serves a B2B customer base that includes architects, interior designers, commercial/hospitality developers, luxury homeowners, and a 150+ dealer network distributing KalingaStone domestically. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific across premium and exotic marble varieties; the core revenue mechanics are one-time slab and tile sales, with value-added differentiation through proprietary processing (Forza360), exclusive antibacterial certification (Microban), curated collections (9th Avenue, Classic Icon, Crystal White), and adjacent slim-tile offerings (Techlam). The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales to architectural practices and developers, branded retail/showroom experiences, certified dealer distribution domestically, and direct export sales internationally.

CMC's strategic direction over the past several years has been characterized by international expansion (KalingaStone footprint growing from 50 to 67+ countries), technology-led product differentiation (Microban 2023, Forza360 2023), and accumulated international compliance certifications (NSF, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE Marking, GreenGuard, IGBC). Revenue crossed 750+ Cr INR as a 2019 milestone with headcount above 1,000; no subsequent revenue disclosures are available. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external funding events, M&A activity, or leadership transitions beyond the founder-MD structure.
