Meet the Founder

Shaanu Makhija

“Creating thoughtful, refined and memorable gifting experiences has always been more than a profession — it’s a passion rooted in understanding people, purpose and meaningful connections.”

With a foundation in Commerce, ECCE and Marketing Management, I’ve spent years mastering sourcing, forecasting and the evolving dynamics of retail and consumer behaviour.

What guides my work is a simple, powerful belief — The right product, at the right time, from the right place, at the right price.

This philosophy shaped the foundation of Hornbill Gifts — elevating corporate gifting into an experience that builds relationships and strengthens brand identity.
