Surya Makes Inc. 5000 List for 7th Straight Year

Surya earned its spot on the list this year based on three-year revenue growth of 51% to $124 million and the addition of 191 jobs during the same period.

By revenue, Surya ranked 11th in the Consumer Products and Services category and 13th among the 233 Georgia-based companies on the list.

“We pride ourselves on our ability to ‘think big and move fast,’” said Satya Tiwari, president of Surya. “It is one of our core values and, with the support of our loyal employees and customers, we have been able to reap the benefits of successful execution of our lofty goals. We appreciate being recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for a seventh year. To think of how we have grown since our first year on the list is nothing short of amazing, and I look forward to continuing the upward growth trajectory for years to come.”

He said Surya’s steady organic growth has been a result of a series of bold strategic decisions. Since 2010, the company has added new product categories each year, branching from rugs to pillows, throws, lighting, wall decor, accent furniture, decorative accents, and bedding.

In 2016, the company consolidated operations from seven warehouses into a single, one million-square-foot distribution facility, upgraded to a powerful multi-million-dollar warehouse management system and implemented state-of-the-art racking technology.

Today, Tiwari said Surya can seamlessly provide retailers and designers with access to over 60,000 SKUs and offer the fastest fulfillment rates in the industry.

Companies on the 2017 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to the percentage of revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2013 and be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of Dec. 31, 2016.
