R Agerwal — Founder

11 years in corporate: CFO office, product management, Indian conglomerates. I was good at the job. But every morning felt like I was already behind before it started. The one thing that helped? A quiet cup of coffee before the chaos began. No phone, no Slack, no meetings. Just 10 minutes that were mine. I kept thinking: why is this so hard to find? Why does "good coffee" require expensive machines, barista knowledge, and 20 minutes of effort? That's why I built Desk & Trail Collective. Specialty coffee without the fuss. Designed for people who want one small moment of calm in an otherwise relentless day. We started with coffee. We're building toward a fuller vision: everyday products that help you begin better, work with more intention, and move at a pace that's actually yours. If you're a working professional who's tired of starting every day reactive, this brand is for you. → Follow along as I build this. I share the real stuff: mistakes, milestones, and what it actually takes to build a D2C brand in India from scratch.
