Our new timepiece. Wave Island. Available for preorder soon.

I would hardly relate myself as a mentor this soon, yet I am always given opportunities by various organisations for mentoring young entrepreneurs, young designers and innovators.
I never miss these opportunities as they teach me so much about new ideas new views and new temperaments. So many new ideas and solutions to a vast range of problems are being created and conceived. I am blessed to contribute to all these innovations.

Quantum

Time. Is it the most ultimate luxury?
When I started designing this timepiece, I really wanted to define the theories of physics in a visual and tecotorial fashion. Keeping it mechanical; analog. The wrist watch is a symbol of the luxury of time.

Stay Tuned! Pepperfry 😊

Once I was out stargazing with a couple of friends at a small place outskirts of Mumbai. Totally excited to see the galaxies and the constellations, we were looking forward to witness the beauty of the universe. But I guess we were unfortunate enough to see the clouds gradually rolling in the scenario! We started to pray that the clouds would go and we can start counting the infinite stars. But they wont. They did insist to stay. Our mind started wandering and rendering different scenarios, making different stories. We started picturing stars with the natural flows and forms of the clouds. I wondered if we can ever, ever see the tiny shining stars, together with the clouds, through the clouds! That was the moment when the idea “Stars in the Clouds” was born. That is the soul of human creativity expressed in a material form.

Presenting today and remembering my childhood superhero Prof. Stephen Hawking;

“The Stars in the clouds.”

Available now.

Happy Holi to the world!
