What Durian Industries does

Durian Industries Limited is an Indian privately-held furniture and home interiors company headquartered in Mumbai, founded in 1985. It operates a vertically integrated business spanning ready furniture (sofas, beds, dining sets, office furniture, mattresses, pillows), modular custom interiors (kitchens, wardrobes, TV units, built-in storage), and building materials (plywood, veneers, laminates, doors). Production runs across 9 state-of-the-art manufacturing units totalling 1.3 million sq.ft, supporting both residential and institutional demand.

The company sells through a hybrid distribution model: 65+ owned retail stores and experience centres across India, the durian.in e-commerce platform, a franchise network covering furniture, office furniture, full home customisation, doors, veneers and plywood, and a dedicated institutional sales team targeting banks, railways, public-sector undertakings and government bodies. Value-added services include free design consultation, 3D visualisation, white-glove delivery, free installation, a 5-year warranty on furniture and modular solutions, and a 100-night mattress trial. Sustainable material credentials include FSC (FSC-C095259), PEFC (SCS-PEFC-COC-003290) and GREENGUARD certifications.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across ready furniture, quote-based full home customisation projects, institutional/bulk orders, franchise licensing, and building materials. Customer segments span individual Indian homeowners (over 3.2 million served), corporate and government clients (Rolta India, Syndicate Bank, Union Bank, RBI, Central Railway, House of Hiranandani, OPHWC, among others), and franchise partners. The company reports a 73.94% repeat customer rate and a 4.8/5 customer rating based on 23,665 reviews.
