Home and lifestyle brand Nestasia on April 29 announced that it has roped in listed logistics major Delhivery’s co-founder and CEO Sahil Barua as a board member.
This comes shortly after Barua stepped down from the board of food delivery platform Swiggy, citing “increased work commitment.”
According to Nestasia, the company will leverage Barua’s expertise to scale operations, strengthen its omni-channel distribution, and become IPO-ready.
“As Nestasia accelerates its omni-channel strategy in the home & lifestyle space, operational excellence becomes even more critical—especially given the volumetric diversity and fragility of its product range, which brings unique supply chain and fulfillment challenges,” said Bhavani Rana, Susquehanna International Group.
“Sahil’s experience in building Delhivery into a logistics powerhouse brings invaluable perspective, and his deep understanding of operational complexity will be instrumental in supporting Nestasia’s next phase of growth,” she added.
Founded in 2019 by Aditi Murarka Agrawal and Anurag Agrawal, Nestasia offers a curated selection of home decor and lifestyle products across seven key categories. The brand’s focus on utility and beauty, combined with fresh new launches each week, has helped drive over a million orders processed.
“We’re at an inflection point. Sahil’s entry is not just timely—it’s transformational. His journey of building a tech-first, high-performance company from the ground up offers us a lens to reimagine scale, execution, and sustained consumer delight,” said Anurag Agrawal, co-founder of Nestasia.
Back in September last year, Nestasia had raised $8.35 million in fresh funding from Susquehanna Asia VC, Stellaris Venture Partners, and other angel investors, to boost its offline expansion, and expanding its product categories.
According to data from market intelligence platform Tracxn, the company has raised a total of $12.4 million in funding across two rounds, and is currently valued at $39.3 million. It competes with companies like 10Club, Ellementry, and Pelican Essentials.
