We get people excited about mundane, unloved building products. Sounds wild, we know. See for yourself, check out our Instagram. We invented the first modular air register that can be customized to any surface material. Although air registers are our flagship products, we are quickly diversifying into new categories. We are a small (25 people) team of ambitious, creative, boot-strappers led by our female founder. Our company culture is centred around collaboration, humility and the discipline to work intentionally. As a high growth business, we are constantly evolving and scaling. We create a work environment where you can excel at the things you're good at, experiment with tasks you love doing, and challenge yourself to learn new things that are outside your skill set.

We're not your typical growth company. We're the growth partners your brand actually needed. When you work with TruImpact, you don't get an account manager who relays information between you and someone you have never met. You get Suril and AB directly. On every call. Behind every decision. Inside every strategy.

LeBrands.Space has built India’s Brand Discovery Engine, designed to help shoppers discover D2C and homegrown brands beyond the names that dominate marketplaces, advertising and social media. India has thousands of innovative brands across fashion, beauty, food, wellness, home, technology and other categories. Yet discovery is fragmented. Shoppers often know what they want, but not which brands exist that match their style, needs or values. LeBrands.Space brings these brands into one searchable discovery ecosystem powered by a Digital Mall experience. Shoppers can search and explore brands, browse Digital Shops, discover offers, save brands, participate in gamified experiences and receive personalized brand recommendations based on their interests, preferences, browsing behaviour and current shopping intent.

For brands, it is becoming a Brand Recommendation Engine, helping relevant brands get discovered by shoppers whose interests and intent match what they offer. We have also built an evolving Brand DNA layer that combines shopper preferences and behaviour with enriched information from brand websites to create more meaningful discovery across the platform. Our product brings together brand search, personalized discovery, Digital Shops, verified brand profiles, offers, reviews, gamification, shopper engagement and recommendation technology in one experience. We are not building another marketplace. We are building a new discovery layer between shoppers and India's growing ecosystem of independent and homegrown brands.
