Our Story
Every Brand Starts with an Idea. Ours Started with a Need.
The story of Gyftskart began in 2023, but the idea behind it was born much earlier through another venture — Envites.in.
Envites was created as an event planning platform designed to simplify celebrations and events through digital invitations, RSVP management, event planning and related services. Gifting was one of the important verticals of the Envites platform.
While working with customers and understanding the event and celebration ecosystem, we realised something important: finding the right gift was still not easy.
Customers were looking for better choices, better quality, thoughtful products and reliable gifting solutions for adults, families, occasions and corporate requirements.
That is where the journey of Gyftskart truly began.
From Envites to Gyftskart
In the early stages, we explored opportunities to collaborate with existing gifting platforms and brands. We approached several players in the market with the intention of building partnerships and expanding the gifting vertical of Envites.
However, those collaborations did not materialise.
Instead of seeing this as a setback, our founder saw it as an opportunity.
The question became simple:
If the right gifting platform did not exist for what our customers needed, why not build one ourselves?
That thought became the foundation of Gyftskart.
Going Back to Where Products Are Made
We did not want to build a gifting brand by simply selecting products from catalogues.
Our journey started on the ground.
We began visiting factories, manufacturers and product clusters across different towns and cities in India. We interacted directly with manufacturers, OEMs and suppliers to understand:
Our approach was simple:
Find the right product for the right customer, at the right price.
Instead of focusing only on expensive products or only on low-cost gifting, we started curating a range that could serve different pockets, occasions and requirements.
This direct sourcing approach also helped us build strong relationships with manufacturers and reduce unnecessary layers between the factory and the customer.
The First Gyftskart Store
With a curated product range and a clear vision, Gyftskart opened its first physical store in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad, in 2023.
The beginning was gradual.
Like every new retail brand, Gyftskart had to earn customer trust one purchase at a time. We listened closely to what customers liked, what they were looking for and what they felt was missing in the gifting market.
Then came our first Diwali season in 2023.
That became an important turning point in our journey.
Customers started discovering Gyftskart, sharing their experiences and recommending us to friends, family and colleagues. Word-of-mouth marketing became one of our strongest growth drivers.
A customer who came looking for one gift often returned for another occasion—and brought someone else with them.
That trust gave Gyftskart momentum.
Growing One Customer at a Time
Since then, Gyftskart has continued to grow quarter after quarter.
Our journey has been driven not only by products, but by listening to our customers.
Customers began asking us for:
With continued customer support, Gyftskart has achieved strong year-on-year growth, doubling annual revenue as the business expanded.
For us, growth is not just about opening more stores. It is about earning the trust that makes customers choose us again for the next birthday, anniversary, wedding, festival or celebration.
From One Store to Three
As more customers discovered Gyftskart, we started receiving requests to bring the brand closer to them.
That customer demand led to the next stage of our journey.
After Vasundhara, Gyftskart expanded to Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, followed by our third store in Vaishali, Ghaziabad.
Each new location has helped us understand our customers better and refine our product selection, store experience and gifting services.
Our immediate expansion vision includes launching additional stores in Noida and Gurgaon, taking Gyftskart to more customers across the Delhi NCR region.
Building an Online Gyftskart
While our physical stores continued to grow, one request became increasingly common:
“When can we order Gyftskart products online?”
Customers wanted the same product quality, gifting experience and selection available in our stores to be accessible from anywhere.
That demand is now taking Gyftskart into its next chapter.
Our online platform is currently under development and beta testing, with the aim of launching in Q3 2026.
The online Gyftskart experience is being designed to make gifting easier by allowing customers to discover products based on:
Our goal is not simply to create another online shopping website.
We are building a digital extension of the Gyftskart experience.
The Journey Has Just Begun
Today, Gyftskart works with a growing network of 100+ suppliers, manufacturers and sourcing partners, with a strong focus on directly sourced and Made in India products wherever possible.
From visiting factories and selecting our first products, to opening our first store and growing through customer recommendations, every step of the journey has reinforced one belief:
People are not just looking for more products. They are looking for the right gift.
The right gift for the right person.
The right gift for the right occasion.
The right gift at the right price.
And that is what Gyftskart is working to make easier.
Looking Ahead
Our vision is to build Gyftskart into a trusted gifting brand with a strong online and offline presence.
We see a future where customers can discover Gyftskart online from anywhere, while also having the confidence and experience of visiting physical stores in their cities.
From a single store in Vasundhara to multiple locations, and now towards building our online platform, Gyftskart's journey has been shaped by one thing above everything else:
Our customers.
Their feedback has shaped our product selection.
Their recommendations have helped us grow.
Their requests are guiding our expansion.
And their trust continues to inspire us to build something bigger.
This Is Not Just Our Story.
It Is a Journey We Are Building Together.
Gyftskart — Gifting for All.
