Founder & Chairman @ Nasher Miles
The Nasher Miles Story
In 2014, we embarked on a venture that would eventually evolve into a luggage brand that would be a market disruptor and make it to national headlines within a span of 7 years and in doing so remain bootstrapped and profitable. Our small, tight-knit team, connected by a shared passion for business and entrepreneurship, is ever ready to ride the twists and turns of the evolving online retail scene in India.
A lean 45 member team, passionate and cohesive about their shared vision to make Nasher Miles one of the top luggage brands in India by 2028, is working ever so hard to realise this goal.
Our "moat", so to speak of, is execution. We take pride in our operational efficiency, a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Me?
Extrovert, Multitasker, deceptively disorganised.
In a world teeming with solo pursuits, I stand firm in my appreciation for joint interactions, building bonds that go beyond the transactional.
My extended family and some amazing friends are important pillars of support.
I have had my fair share of rollercoaster rides and twists and turns. From being in the middle of the dotcom boom (and bust) at the turn of the millenium in silicon valley to embarking on an entrepreneurial journey which was superbly eclectic.
From web development, mail server maintenance to medical billing, manufacturing industrial rubber components and retail and distribution of ceramic flooring, I've done it all and at times wearing more than one hat at a time.
I don't see myself retiring at any given point it time and probably not even slowing down.
Always the contrarian rooting for the underdog, there would always be that one insane, crazy idea or venture that would tickle my interest.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
