About Us
Happiness Awaits You
Welcome to Hobbyist Nirvana
India's enthusiast-run store for hobby-grade RC cars and retro gaming consoles. Founded in 2024 by two passionate hobbyists — Vimal and Gayatri — with one simple mission: bring real, quality hobby gear to Indian enthusiasts, backed by service you can actually talk to.
Our Story
Hobbyist Nirvana was born out of frustration — and love. As lifelong hobbyists in India, we kept running into the same wall: toy-grade products sold at hobby-grade prices, no one to answer questions before buying, and zero support after. We knew the joy a proper drift RC car or a pocket-sized retro console could bring, because we'd chased that joy ourselves.
So we built the store we wished existed: every product personally tested and curated, honest GST-inclusive pricing, fast dispatch, and a real human on WhatsApp — or even a video call — before you spend a rupee.
Meet the Founders
Vimal Rai
Co-founder · Engineering & Products
An engineer by training and builder by obsession, Vimal has spent over a decade creating software and e-commerce platforms — from point-of-sale systems to full online stores. That same technical eye now goes into every product we stock: he tests the electronics, the batteries, the radio range and the build quality before anything earns a place in the catalog. A lifelong RC fanatic, he's happiest when a gyro-stabilised drift car is sliding across the floor.
Gayatri
Co-founder · Curation & Experience
A creative soul with a love for crafting and thoughtful gifting, Gayatri shapes what Hobbyist Nirvana feels like — from the products we choose to the way your order arrives. Her knack for picking pieces that make people smile is why so many of our customers come back to gift a second one.
