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
"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
