Satya Tiwari, president of rug and home décor resource Surya, has been named the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year for 2017 in the Family Business category in the Southeast Region.
Selected by a panel of independent judges, the award recognizes entrepreneurs whose ingenuity, spirit of innovation and discipline have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries, and made a positive impact on their communities.
“I am both humbled and privileged to accept the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award,” said Tiwari. “Surya’s success has been a collaborative effort, so I must thank my family and the entire Surya team for their trust, diligence and dedication. I also attribute this award to our many loyal customers who entrust their businesses’ success, in part, to us every day.
“We will continue to raise the bar in the home furnishings industry and provide every customer with the exceptional products and service they have come to expect from us.”
Since assuming the role of president in 2006, Tiwari has incrementally expanded Surya’s product offering into multiple home accessory categories, including rugs, pillows, lighting, wall decor, bedding, and accent furniture. Tiwari has made significant investments in marketing, technology, warehousing, and logistics and today, the company said Surya boasts one of the fastest fulfillment rates in the industry.
As a Southeast award winner, Tiwari is now eligible for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2017 national award. National awards will be announced at an awards gala in Palm Springs, Calif., on Nov. 18.
