The decade paperweight
A sculpted 999 silver paperweight, 300–500g, with the founding year and the tenth-anniversary year on opposite faces. Set on a black marble plinth, numbered on the underside.
For the anniversary that matters. The advisor stepping down. The key hire on day one. The peer founder you'd take a 2 AM call from. Single-edition silver in 999, sculpted to the moment, finished in Delhi NCR.
Founder gifting is a different category from corporate gifting. The recipient is rarely on a list. The brief is usually one sentence long: “He's been on the board for eight years, he's leaving on Friday, what should I give him?” The answer can't come from a catalogue.
Silver carries the right register here because it's the opposite of expense-account gifting. It's personal. It survives in the recipient's home, not their desk drawer. And the material rewards specificity — an engraved tenure, a cast signature, a sketch in relief — in a way that wood, acrylic, or paper does not.
We make most of these as single pieces. One paperweight for the founder's tenth. One diya pair for a co-founder's wedding. One pocket coin for the mentor who took the call. The brief comes through the founder personally, the karigar makes the piece by hand, the founder signs the underside. That's the whole loop.
Each is a starting point. Every brief is built to the moment — the year, the recipient, the line we want them to read.

Twin silver pen-rests, mirrored — one keeps with the founder, one gifts to the advisor. Engraved with the advisor's tenure on the underside. The understated way to mark a clean-break.
A weighted silver box with the company crest cast into the lid, monogrammed inside with the joiner's name. For the head of engineering, the first GM, the first CFO.
Two hand-raised diyas in 999 silver, on a single base, engraved with both names and the founding date. The gift that goes home, not to the office.
A 30g 999 cast coin, hand-finished, with the founder's signature on one face and a single line on the other. Walnut sleeve, ink-and-card note inside. Small, considered, kept.
A weighted silver plinth, 200–300g, with the deal date cast in relief and a line from the joint-press release engraved across the face. Hand-signed by the founder on the underside.
Founder briefs go through the founder, not a relationship manager. NDA on request before any names move.

Sculpted diya pairs, weighted seal boxes, signed pocket plinths. For founder anniversaries at year five through ten, and for board-advisor tenure-end gifts.
Single-piece commissions. Sculpted paperweights at 300g+, signed plinths, hand-raised diya sets. The piece that ends up in the recipient's home, not their office.

Hand-engraving, founder's signature on underside, hand-delivery.
A Bengaluru SaaS founder briefed us in early 2025: a single piece for his first angel, who'd written a ₹25 lakh cheque eleven years earlier and was now stepping off the cap table after the Series D. Not the largest cheque on the round — the first one.
A 60g pocket coin in 999 silver. One face: the angel's initials cast in relief. The other: a single line from the founder's seed-deck. Walnut sleeve, ink-and-card note in the founder's own hand. Hand-delivered in Indiranagar on a Sunday morning. The founder sent us a voice note that evening: “He held it for a long time. Two lines did it.”
Anything else, the founder is on WhatsApp.
Five recurring ones. Founder anniversaries (year five, ten, fifteen, twenty). Board-advisor thank-yous (post-round, post-exit, end of tenure). Key-hire welcomes (the head of engineering, the first GM, the first CFO). Peer founder-to-founder thanks (post-acquisition, post-mentorship). And quiet milestones that don't ship publicly — a partner's promotion, a co-founder's parent's anniversary, a difficult quarter survived together.
Single-edition silver for the people who built the room with you. NDA on request before any names are exchanged.
