Roma International

What Roma International does

Roma International is a privately held, Kolkata-based manufacturer and exporter of eco-friendly jute and cotton bags, jute rugs, and related handicraft products, founded in December 1995. The company operates a 22,000 sq ft production facility equipped with industrial machinery and an experienced workforce, with stated monthly capacity of 300,000 bags, and is ISO 9001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certified as a socially audited organisation. Its product portfolio spans promotional jute bags, cotton canvas and light cotton bags, JUCO (jute-cotton blend) bags, braided bags, jute gift packaging, value-added jute products, foldable bags, hand-spun and machine-spun jute rugs, and home furnishing items such as cushions, all positioned as 100% biodegradable alternatives to synthetic packaging.

The company's business model combines B2B export sales with a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel. On the B2B side, Roma sells promotional and packaging products to international brands, retailers, and distributors across European countries, broader Asia, the Middle East, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, and the United States, emphasising long-term relationship building. On the DTC side, it operates its own online storefront (jutegoodsfromindia.com) with unit-level pricing in Indian Rupees (₹45 to ₹130 across product samples), supported by a social media presence on Pinterest, X/Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The company has no disclosed parent, no external institutional investors, and no fundraising history; it has been recognised with consecutive Export Excellence Awards from FIEO (2014-15 and 2015-16) and from EPCH (2013-14), including a Women Entrepreneur Top Export Award for the Eastern Region.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from physical product sales of bags, rugs, and home furnishings under a unit-pricing model, with no subscription, licensing, or recurring revenue streams disclosed. Marketing is driven by social media, trade exhibitions, and the e-commerce storefront, while operations are concentrated at the single Kolkata headquarters and manufacturing site.
