Have you ever thought, 'Why does my alarm do such a terrible job of getting me up?' or 'Why can't I find a bag that makes it easy to carry my heavy laptop around?' So did Gauri Nanda. From these ordinary questions, she set out to create extraordinary products. Things that are both simple and exceptional by combining quality material with unique designs where functionality is key.
