Follow your dreams
Tejas Jhaveri, the founder has always been fascinated with technology and toys. In his younger days, he would brainstorm on the functionality of television sets and radios by dismantling them. Till date, he finds his candy land in every electronic store he visits.
‘Pursue what you love’ his parents told him. That’s when he resigned his job and booked his tickets for Hong Kong to attend an exhibition which was a complete eye opener for him. The products sold by the exhibitors enchanted him and he was prepared to cling on to that place forever. That’s when he was confident of what he wanted to do in life.

Why the quirky range?
The reason Tejas got enticed to the quirky space is that on searching the web for quirky products, he did not find exactly what he was looking for. Hence the idea of innovating products got into him.
Demand for such products in India was not being met with any supply. Why not bridge the gap with an e-commerce?
What encouraged and motivated them, was receiving the first order on launching the website. It made them realise that there is a need for their quirk!

Eventual Goal
It does not just end at selling products.
Their vision is to be an inventor, look out for problems and come up with products that can solve those problems.
