The Beginning
It all began (like all good things do) over a (good) bottle of wine. Vivek and Shubhra were tired of all the random souvenirs that India had to offer. They set out to start a company that would go on to sell souvenirs that depicted India, the way you and I saw it. Mad, Crazy. Colourful. In 2010, they founded Chumbak. Over the years, we grew from a company selling just souvenirs to some of the nicest homeware and accessories youβll find
anywhere.
