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
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
Harsha Bhurani
Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
Pankaj Bhimani
Founder, 58miles
"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
