Excerpts:

BMR: What’s the USP of Stone World?

We keep innovating with our products and do different kinds of finishes with the same stone. Besides, we have a good network and are connected with various architects. We also do excellent customized work and are well-known for offering this unique service in the industry. 

BMR: What has been the scenario post-Covid?

 
Indian natural stone is now more in demand in the market and decorative floorings and wall claddings are finding many takers. We also have more digital interactions today and physical interactions aren’t much.   

BMR: What are the challenges facing the stone business today?

• We often don’t get proper measurements. This creates the issue of wastage.
• We also need to understand that we should use adhesives properly.
• We are also facing the issue of crude washing-off attempts to remove adhesives from stone-works or stones. This often harms the stones and stone-works. 

BMR: What are the new trends in the industry? 

• Today, people prefer one stone with multiple finishes for their interiors and exteriors.  
• Now the stone is combined with different materials, such as wood and glass, to create stunning designs. 
• We also have more customized projects running at all levels. 

BMR: What are the future plans of Stone World?

We have plans for expansion and we intend to do that, initially, through the franchise model and later through our new showrooms/display centre model.

BMR: What is the cost of stone cladding or stone-work per sq. meter?

It starts from Rupees 25 per sq. feet and goes upward. There is no limit to the upper price range.
