Two co-founders. Two MBA graduates. One shared heritage in India's stone industry. Sri Lakshmi Dulam and Harish Reddy Annavaram built Naturaw Stones on a foundation no competitor can replicate — lived experience at every level of the granite industry, from quarry face to international export.
Sri Lakshmi Dulam is the Managing Director and co-founder of Naturaw Stones Pvt. Ltd. — one of India's most respected premium granite exporters, headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana. Her journey into the stone industry was not a career choice — it was a calling shaped by a lifetime of growing up within a family deeply embedded in India's natural stone trade.
From childhood, Sri Lakshmi was immersed in the language of stone — learning to read granite quality, understand quarry dynamics and appreciate the craftsmanship behind every polished slab. Rather than simply inheriting this knowledge, she chose to elevate it. Recognising that global stone export demanded a sophisticated business approach, she pursued an MBA — equipping herself with world-class understanding of international trade, business strategy and market dynamics.
In 2020, Sri Lakshmi stepped into active business operations — bringing together her generational stone expertise and MBA-sharpened business acumen to co-build Naturaw Stones from the ground up. In just a few years, she has helped grow the company into a trusted supplier to importers, monument fabricators and stone distributors across 15+ countries in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Oceania.
"Every slab that leaves our facility carries our family's name. That is not something I take lightly."
— Sri Lakshmi Dulam, Managing DirectorHarish Reddy Annavaram is the Director and co-founder of Naturaw Stones Pvt. Ltd. His story is one of the most compelling in the Indian granite export industry — a man who began at the quarry face, rose through hands-on stone operations, and then pursued an MBA in International Business from Australia to take that expertise to global markets.
Like Sri Lakshmi, Harish grew up in a family rooted in India's stone industry. But what sets him apart is the depth of his operational experience — Harish actively operated black granite quarries in Telangana before co-founding Naturaw Stones. He knows what makes a block worth buying, what makes a quarry worth trusting, and what makes a slab worth exporting — not from a textbook, but from years of standing at the rock face and making those decisions himself.
To transform this quarry-floor expertise into a world-class export business, Harish pursued an MBA in International Business from Australia — gaining command of global trade finance, export documentation, international supply chain management and cross-cultural business strategy — the complete toolkit to serve demanding international buyers with precision and professionalism.
"Our quality guarantee starts before the block is even cut. It starts at the quarry."
