Weaving together centuries of heritage and modern empowerment, Obeetee is one of India’s oldest and most prestigious handwoven carpet brands. Its story begins in the Mughal era - Emperor Akbar invited Persian artisans to India, whose survivors eventually settled in Mirzapur after a fateful attack in Gopiganj, cementing the region’s legacy in carpet weaving.

Flash forward to 1920, when three British entrepreneurs - F.H. Oakley, F.H. Bowden, and J.A.L. Taylor - launched a carpet venture in Mirzapur, naming it "Obeetee" using their initials (OBT). Over time, this brand wove its legacy into the fabric of Indian history - its exquisite carpets now grace the New Parliament building, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and Rashtrapati Bhavan, including a grand piece over 450 sq. meters with around 100 million intricate knots .

But Obeetee’s story isn't just about luxury - it’s about empowerment. Since launching women’s training programs in 2016, the brand has trained nearly 1,800 women weavers, offering them both financial independence and a skill to pass on .

Obeetee thus represents more than carpets - it is a living tapestry of cultural heritage, innovation, and social change.
