The state has gained international recognition for its strides in various sectors, particularly technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

Their unwavering dedication to excellence and meticulous attention to detail have positioned them as a formidable presence in the field of interior design. Consequently, Aertsen Living has emerged as one of the rapidly expanding entities in Telangana, showcasing its groundbreaking approach to the artistry of home interiors.

But it is important to mention the contributions from Mr. Manidhar Anumula, Co-Founder and Director at Aertsen Living, as he has been instrumental in shaping the remarkable growth path of the company while empowering young entrepreneurs on their entrepreneurial journeys. With his invaluable mentorship and guidance, Aertsen has experienced unprecedented success, emerging as a prominent market leader and garnering recognition from industry experts.

In many ways, this was destined to happen, as the duo spent their formative years tirelessly learning from the best while honing themselves to do what it takes to be at the top.

Even though Aertsen Living is in its juvenile phase, there is no doubt this flood of recognition by the Telangana government and other prominent names in the country is a testament to their outstanding work and remarkable contributions to the industry, Indian households, and the country's economy. Through their relentless pursuit of excellence, they are well on their way to achieving greatness and transforming every Indian home into a beautiful and sustainable retreat.

Marking the beginnings of something special, Aertsen Living was birthed in the humblest of fashion. A small-time furniture-importing business based out of Vijayawada in 2014 was the blueprint for the flourishing home interior brand Aertsen Living has matured into today. Enamoured by the eyeful beauty of the designs, the depth of craftsmanship and the solidarity of the quality in the products of a European Kitchen brand sourced from the Netherlands, filled Mr. Manidhar Anumula with the need to introduce such products to the Indian market. Thus, he teamed up with Mr. Vinay Addagiri in 2018 to acquire franchise rights and instigate a higher standard of luxury furniture in Indian homes. Skipping sometime in the future, Mr. Suresh Nagala joined the duo to evolve the business into an End-to-End home interior solution provider.

A year later in November 2019, Aertsen Living owned by the Nirmaan Group was established and by the time July 2020 rolled out Aertsen Living officially came into existence. Later that year in September, Aertsen Living launched Chryso, Jade, Brilliant, Coral and Sapphire finishes under the Hi-Living series. But this wasn’t the end of achievements in the year, in October Aertsen Living launched its first Experience Centre, followed by expanding its team and delivering its first full-fledged project. Akin to the previous year, 2021 also saw a number of achievements – kick-starting the year, Aertsen Living started operations in Vijayawada and Guntur, May of the same year marked the 25th finished project with the team expanded to 35 members, just the next month Aertsen Living expanded its offering to economy range as Easy Care Series. Soon afterwards, Aertsen established its own modular manufacturing unit in Hyderabad and to end 2021 in the best way possible, Aertsen Living delivered its 75th finished project while expanding the team to 60. As of now, Aertsen operates in over 7 cities in Andhra Pradesh and in the entire Telangana state with 500+ finished projects and 100+ employees.

As the state, country, and the world inch closer to a better future, Vinay Addagiri & Suresh Nagala are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of beautiful, sustainable, and functional homes. While also acting as an inspiration and reminder for entrepreneurs everywhere of the powers of passion and dedication to work.
