Built with Curiosity. Driven by Courage.
Hi, I’m Ashish Panwar — founder of Vibenest, and someone who's always believed that tech should not just work—it should delight.
🌱 From Himachal to Mumbai
I grew up in Sundernagar, a small town in Himachal Pradesh, where my love for technology began at age 11 when my father brought home our first PC. That single device changed how I saw the world — and what I dreamed of building.
I began my career as an Associate Consultant at Oracle, where I worked on large-scale enterprise systems. Later, I pursued an MBA from IIM Calcutta, one of India’s top business schools. Post-MBA, I joined a leading NBFC as a Product Manager, where I led the development of digital lending products. By the age of 26, I was earning ₹35 LPA and living in Mumbai — the financial capital of India.
But something was missing.
🚀 Why I Left It All to Build Vibenest
Despite the fast-paced fintech career, I wasn’t fulfilled. I’ve always been drawn to products you can touch, use, and admire — gadgets that improve everyday life and look damn good doing it.
I wanted to build a brand that celebrates:
-
Good design
-
Functional innovation
-
And products you’d be proud to show your friends
So I walked away from comfort and chose conviction — and that’s how Vibenest was born.
🔍 What Vibenest Stands For
Vibenest blends “vibe” — how a product feels — with “nest” — the comfort of home. We curate unique, premium essentials that are:
-
Aesthetic, efficient, and durable
-
Designed to solve real-life problems
-
Crafted to elevate your space and your life
-
Cool enough to show off, yet useful enough to keep using
But more than a store, we’re building a community. A tribe of people who love clever electronics, clean design, and thoughtful living.
🧠 My Approach to Products
I’ve always been the guy who:
-
Pre-ordered the latest iPod
-
Bought the Xbox Kinect just to experience motion tech
-
Tuned TVs for the perfect 3D setup
-
Stayed up late unboxing, testing, comparing — just for fun
Right now, I personally test every product before it goes live. Our first? A portable neck massager — something I loved so much, I knew it had to be our starting point.
Soon, we’ll move from curated picks to in-house product design, with a mission to create inclusive, aesthetic tech — even for the differently abled.
🎯 The Long-Term Vision
Vibenest is not just another gadget brand.
It’s a movement toward:
-
Global design, Indian pricing
-
Accessible innovation
-
Community-powered product discovery
-
Fearless creativity
I want to build a brand that sits proudly next to the Apples and Dysons of the world — but speaks the language of India.
💬 Final Words
I started Vibenest because I believe beautiful, useful products can change the way we live. This brand is an extension of everything I love — tech, people, storytelling, and smart problem-solving.
So if you’ve ever…
-
Geeked out over packaging
-
Felt joy unboxing something new
-
Wanted more from the products you use daily…
Welcome home.
Welcome to Vibenest.
