Gwambo Studios Pvt. Ltd. (Gwambo), was set up by the founder of de Gournay, Claud S Cecil Gurney. Gwambo is the Indian production center of de Gournay and specializes in creating exquisite hand embroidered and hand-painted wallcoverings and allied home-furnishing products. Each design involves an array of disciplines from the technical to the artistic, from architectural drawings to color and embroidery and/or painting work.
Gwambo is also the global finance center of de Gournay providing a bouquet of business support services in respect of various functions such as Accounting & Finance, Sales Support, IT Support, IT Development, Design & Embroidery, etc. to the group.
Additionally, we also have two other registered companies in India:
a) Humble Hydrogen Pvt Ltd – The company operates in the renewable energy sector with focus on green hydrogen. Its area of operations has been the design, manufacture, and deployment of indigenous hydrogen refuelling stations in India, a business it entered approximately 3-4 years ago. Rather than import technology, Management built in-house R&D capability from design through field validation. The company is also engaged in undertaking R&D in other areas of the green hydrogen ecospace.
b) de Gournay Pvt Ltd - The Indian direct sales operations are housed under this entity. We are already working with some of India’s leading interior designers, and our products feature in the spaces of several prominent and high-profile clients across the country.
