More about Swapna Wagh
Founder & Director at Desi Toys & Games Pvt Ltd/Offering Classic Toys & Games, Made in India/Serving Customers Globally
Having worked with big organized retail players in India for more than 8 years, I started a unique venture called 'Desi Toys' which offers popular Indian toys and games for the tech savvy generation and reviving childhood memories for the older generation.
I was able to identify the need gap at the right time and took the opportunity to make and retail these wonderful toys with every care taken for the quality and safety.
After successful results of initial pilot survey, we opened standalone retail store in a renowned mall. I realized we need to have online presence as our customers were moving there. Hence today we retail on all popular marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Firstcry, Paytm, Hopscotch,etc. We have our own E-store at www.desitoys.in. We are even currently present in Domestic and International Airports in India. We are also selling in popular chain of stores of Hamleys, The Bombay Store, Bargain Book Hut Store,etc
Nothing is stopping us here. With awesome response, we plan to further expand in different ways to ensure tech savvy generation gets to play with our amazing 'DESI TOYS'.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"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."
