A historic milestone... it is the story of 90 glorious years of Raymond. It is the efforts of great men, their unshakeable values and their persistence to always keep pace with the exacting standards of The Complete Man. Few companies can boast of this legacy...I am happy that Raymond in its own way has put India on the global map.

MAN OF THE MOMENT The greatest source of satisfaction for Gautam Hari Singhania is that Raymond has fiercely protected its status as one of the few companies in the world that brings wool from the back of the sheep to the back of the man.

WOOL WONDER Gopalkrishna Singhania with a Gopal Merino sheep. It was the outcome of cross-breeding Indian Deccani and Chokla sheep with the Australian Merino rams. The result was high-quality indigenously produced Merino wool, named as Gopal Merino Wool, in memory of the founder of this project — Gopalkrishna Singhania.
