SURYA NAMED TO INC. 5000 LIST OF FASTEST GROWING COMPANIES FOR SEVENTH STRAIGHT YEAR 8.16.17

For the seventh consecutive year, Surya has been recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small and midsized businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

Surya earned its spot on the list this year based on 51 percent three-year revenue growth 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. In recognition of its solid track record of more than five years of strong and consistent growth, Surya continues to hold its spot on the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll.

Surya’s steady organic growth has been a result of a series of bold strategic decisions. Since 2010, Surya has incrementally 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 new multi-million dollar warehouse management system and implemented state-of-the-art racking technology. Today, Surya is able to seamlessly provide retailers and designers with access to over 60,000 SKUs and offers the fastest fulfillment rates in the industry.

“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 to today is nothing short of amazing and I look forward to continuing the upward growth trajectory for years to come.”

Unveiled online at Inc.com, the 2017 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. "The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”

The 2017 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage 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.
