Stellaris Venture Partners

🏡 In 2023, the Indian home and living market was worth $21 billion and is projected to reach $30 billion by 2026, driven by changing consumer tastes, increased disposable incomes, and a surge in demand for premium home products. The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to more time spent at home, has further accelerated this growth. Nestasia, an Indian brand specializing in premium home decor, is ideally positioned to benefit from these trends. Its robust online presence and wide range of products including decorative accents, tableware, soft furnishings, kitchen and dining essentials and storage solutions distinguish it in a competitive market. By blending style with functionality and embracing minimalism, Nestasia meets modern consumer needs. With high-quality products, competitive pricing, excellent customer service, and a commitment to sustainability, Nestasia is set to thrive in the expanding Indian home and living market.

What keeps us going is the unending support from Rahul Chowdhri Naman Lahoty

I am sure Ritesh Banglani will agree with me when I say that Rahul Chowdhri has been taught investing by the best folks :-) On a more serious note, delighted to see Rahul on the nominations list. I am just happy that Rahul agreed to be nominated in the first place - he is one of the most understated, and yet one of the most accomplished investors in the country IMO. I would die to have his track record, its just that even dying will not solve the problem for me 😆 Spoiler alert - he does not look (or is) as young as he looks in this photo!
