Nasher Miles is a contemporary travel company. We produces and markets a variety of hard side and soft side luggage, backpacks, and duffle bags. The company has recently forayed into the production of luggage covers and masks. The Name Nasher is derived from the Persian word "Nasher Kardan" meaning to publish. The word "Miles" underlines every mile of the journey of a traveler. The term "Nasher Miles" together refers to a promise of bringing to the world, real travel experiences. The brand is a new-age digital-first brand, committed to making travel easy, efficient, and tasteful for you. It is led by individuals who come from diverse backgrounds with one thing in common - their love for travel. A couple of years ago, on an international terminal waiting for their luggage on the baggage belt, they realized how monotonous every bag looked. This seemed like an opportunity to break the clutter and led to the creation of a brand that is driven by nothing but innovation. Every single piece created at Nasher Miles is designed and engineered to set the customer apart.

REGRIP: Pioneering a Sustainable Solution for a Cleaner World In a world that generates an astonishing 1.5 billion discarded tires annually, the environmental impact cannot be understated. Shockingly, only a mere 20% of these tires find their way to recycling facilities, leaving a staggering 80% to languish in landfills for hundreds of years, wreaking havoc on our environment and health. Its a challenge that calls for innovative solutions, and thats precisely where REGRIP steps in. At REGRIP, we are committed to addressing this global tire crisis head-on by embracing the principles of the circular economy within the tire industry. Our mission is clear: to breathe new life into discarded tires, extending their usefulness and minimizing their adverse effects on the planet. We accomplish this in two crucial ways: Maximizing Tire End Life: Instead of allowing tires to become waste prematurely, we employ advanced techniques and technologies to make them reusable once more. This not only conserves valuable resources but also extends the lifespan of each tire, reducing the need for new tire production and minimizing the environmental footprint. Converting Non-Reusable Tires into Raw Materials: For tires that have reached the end of their usable life, we take an eco-friendly approach. By transforming these non-reusable tires into valuable raw materials, we ensure they are efficiently removed from the environment, mitigating the pollution and harm they would otherwise cause. At REGRIP, we are dedicated to driving change in the tire industry, moving it towards a more sustainable and responsible future. By redefining the fate of discarded tires and embracing a circular economy mindset, we are not only reducing pollution but also contributing to the well-being of both the environment and humanity. Join us on our mission to create a cleaner, greener world, one tire at a time. Together, we can make a profound impact and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Founded by 2 childhood friends from Rajasthan, we are based out in Ahmedabad. Vaishali & Yash raised in small town Pali , wanted to bring quality mouth freshner & mukhwas with great taste & no sugar & flavours to every household. Backed by Vaishalis learning from her mother & Nani she coined the idea of giving these mukhwas as return gift to guests on her & Yashs wedding. The response they got from guests surprised them & finally after 6 months of research Joyspoon was born. Joyspoon is a label where we want to focus solely on building Indias first quality & tasty mouthfreshner & mukhwas brand.
