About Lamhe
Posted on December 3rd, 2009 in Uncategorized Comments
Lamhe was founded in 2009 by three people who strongly believe in the new India’s desire to celebrate life’s special moments with unforgettable gifts and experiences. After all, you only live once, so why not make the most of what life has to offer and have an unforgettably good time doing it?
Anushka manages Lamhe’s global marketing efforts. Having spent the past 15 years living in different cities such as London, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Bergen and Los Angeles, Anushka has experienced first-hand the struggle to find unique and creative gifts to send to loved ones in India. Using her MBA from University of California, Berkeley, as well as her experience as a Marketing Manager at a leading biotech firm, Anushka drives Lamhe to be the preferred site for anyone looking to send exciting gifts to India. When she isn’t travelling or spending time with loved ones, Anushka enjoys being active in sports such as swimming, hiking, yoga and has also competed in marathons and a triathlon.
Isha is responsible for operations and vendor relations. Isha recently relocated to Mumbai from New York and her background includes managing women’s accessories for Cole Haan and stints in Investment banking in New York and Mumbai. Isha has an MBA from Columbia Business School and this combination of business acumen and retail savvy give her a unique sensibility to pick the perfect gifts for our customers. She enjoys cooking, wine and spending time with her toddler and husband, and of course, shopping!
Vishy is responsible for the design and continuing evolution of the Lamhe website and all matters technology-related. Vishy’s professional experiences in venture capital, market research and software engineering have given him an unusual combination of deep technical perspective and an understanding of what makes a compelling product. A native of Mumbai, Vishy has bachelors and masters degrees in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He enjoys good food, reading, volunteering for social causes and exploring new places. Our Story
In mid-2008, Anushka hit upon the idea of giving unusual gifts to her loved ones in India when Mother’s Day came along and she was unable to find a quick and easy way to give her mom in Mumbai a unique unforgettable gift. Meanwhile, Vishy’s college friend got married in mid-2008, an event which inspired him to work on innovative ideas in online gifting for the Indian market. Anushka recruited Isha, her friend since their early school days, to bring her considerable creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to the table. By several lucky twists of fate, Anushka, Isha and Vishy met and and created Lamhe as we know it today.
