Our multi-step process commences with an in-depth understanding of consumer needs, followed by collaborative discussions to devise tailored solutions.

Can you provide examples of how consumer feedback has influenced product development or improvements?
Consumer feedback has been instrumental in driving continuous improvement and innovation at Nysh.in. Not only has it prompted changes in the shapes and heating temperatures of our existing products, but it has also inspired us to create new products that are tailored to meet evolving consumer needs. We constantly try to engage in interactions with our consumers through various channels, including trade shows and physical events, to gain genuine feedback.
How has technology played a role in enhancing the user experience on Nysh.in? Are there any specific features or tools that stand out?
For us, technology plays an important role, right from assembling our products in the right manner to making them reach the end users on time. For a product based company like ours, every glitch in technology, ends in a dissatisfied customer. Also, one episode of consumer dissatisfaction can ruin all the good that the products are actually doing to the end users, like at times saving lives of people in extreme cold conditions. We wish we had better technologically advanced platforms to rightly market and deliver our products that could save us from the hassles of handling the logistics and other issues. On the other hand, we have observed that a lot of influencers and users have genuinely posted about our products, revealing their unmatched experiences. This gives us the thrill to keep going towards our goals and vision.
What future technological advancements are you looking to integrate into Nysh.in to further improve the customer experience?
We wish to integrate methods that enable a swift and prompt reach to the end users, while improving the channelisation of products. Also, as discussed earlier we are working on how technology can help us improve not only our products’ efficacy but also the packaging.
Being a part of IIM B Goldman Sachs program for fostering women entrepreneurs, how has this experience shaped your leadership style and approach at Nysh.in?
The program has helped me gain a clear vision for my endeavours and aspirations. It has enabled the formation of new friendships and also offered invaluable sounding boards for ideas and challenges. We continue to meet periodically to engage in brainstorming sessions, exchanging insights and supporting one another in navigating both professional and personal lives.
