Nestasia, a home & lifestyle brand, announced the appointment of Sahil Barua, Co-founder and CEO of Delhivery, as a Board Member. This strategic addition comes as the brand is focusing on scaling operations, strengthening omnichannel distribution, and building an IPO-ready company.
Earlier this month, Sahil Barua stepped down as an independent director at Swiggy due to professional commitments.
Sahil brings with him deep expertise in building and leading Delhivery, a logistics and supply chain company and a sharp understanding of solving complex operational challenges at scale. With a background in engineering (NIT Surathkal), management (IIM Bangalore), and consulting (Bain & Company), Sahil is one of the most respected startup leaders in the country today.
“As Nestasia accelerates its omni-channel strategy in the home & lifestyle space, operational excellence becomes even more critical—especially given the volumetric diversity and fragility of its product range, which brings unique supply chain and fulfillment challenges,” said Bhavani Rana, Susquehanna International Group.
“Sahil’s experience in building Delhivery into a logistics powerhouse brings invaluable perspective, and his deep understanding of operational complexity will be instrumental in supporting Nestasia’s next phase of growth. We’re excited to welcome him to the Board,” he added.
Anurag Agrawal, Co-founder of Nestasia, said, “We’re at an inflection point. Sahil’s entry is not just timely—it’s transformational. His journey of building a tech-first, high-performance company from the ground up offers us a lens to reimagine scale, execution, and sustained consumer delight.”
Rahul Chowdhri, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners, said, “Sahil’s journey in building one of India’s most impactful companies is truly inspiring. His insights into scaling operations, driving innovation, and building strong teams will be invaluable as we continue to grow Nestasia into a household name.”
