Home and lifestyle label Nestasia has brought on Sahil Barua, co-founder and CEO of logistics powerhouse Delhivery, as the newest member of its board of directors.
The move signals a new phase for Nestasia, as it gears up for aggressive growth and lays the groundwork for what could eventually be a stock market debut. Barua’s addition to the board isn’t just a high-profile name drop—it’s a calculated step toward operational scale, smarter distribution, and tighter backend systems.

Barua, known for transforming Delhivery from a scrappy startup into one of India’s top logistics giants, comes with a solid pedigree—an engineering degree from NIT Surathkal, an MBA from IIM Bangalore, and a consulting stint at Bain & Company. His experience navigating the logistical labyrinth of Indian commerce is expected to help Nestasia streamline and scale like never before.
“Sahil’s track record isn’t just impressive—it’s inspiring,” said Anurag Agrawal, co-founder of Nestasia. “He’s built a company from scratch that redefined how goods move across India. That kind of clarity and execution is exactly what we need as we grow our footprint and ambition.”
Founded in 2019 by Aditi Murarka and Anurag Agrawal, Nestasia has quietly built a catalogue of over 7,000 SKUs, spanning eight categories—from stylish serveware to statement home décor. The brand serves a mix of individual consumers and large hospitality clients, counting names like Taj Hotels, JW Marriott, and Prestige Group among its customers.
2024 saw the launch of seven exclusive stores in six cities—a clear indication of its offline ambitions. By the end of 2025, the brand plans to triple that number, targeting 30 physical outlets while also beefing up its presence across e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms.

With Barua’s logistical brain now in the mix, Nestasia looks poised to move faster, think bigger, and maybe—just maybe—get IPO-ready sooner than expected.
