Texas Governor Greg Abbott has named Arun Agarwal, Indian-American philanthropist and the CEO of a Dallas-based home textile company, to the Texas Economic Development Corporation’s (TxEDC’s) Board of Directors.

Governor Abbott tapped Agarwal, along with eight other Texas executives, to market the state nationally and globally to relocate a business and create new jobs.

“Their efforts will be instrumental in amplifying the success of TxEDC in promoting Texas as a premier business destination,” Abbott said in a statement.

Agarwal is the CEO of home textile company NEXTT.

“This is a tremendous honour for the Indian-American diaspora in the United States,” said Agarwal.

“The Governor realises the tremendous power our community holds in this country as the hardest-working, highest-earning ethnic minority, and, together, we hope to make Texas the most successful hub for small and large business owners globally,” he said.
