Understanding
Building brands without real human context is just noise with better aesthetics. We bring both together because that’s the only way to build something that actually lands/works
Esha Nagar founded Pegboard to bridge the gap between human understanding and creative ambition,
partnering with founders, leadership teams and some of the best creative minds in the industry
to build brands for a rapidly changing world.
“I’m endlessly curious about people – what they buy, what they believe, what they aspire to become, and the stories they tell
themselves along the way. Few things fascinate me more than the many versions of India that exist side by side.
Having experienced both small-town and metropolitan India firsthand, I’ve learned that the most powerful insights
often live in the tension between the two. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy bringing together two worlds
I care deeply about: a world of evidence and a world of imagination.”

The Opposite of a Formal Hangout
A Pegboard Picnic is a thoughtfully hosted gathering where

people come together in small circles to talk about life, work,
culture and ideas.
The opposite of conferences, panels, networking pressure
and performance. Every picnic is built around a theme and guided by
a simple ritual
that makes conversation feel safe and meaningful.

“Esha is someone I truly enjoyed working with. She came into my life at a time when I was working on something new, something so far removed from my wheelhouse. She is an out of the box thinker, calm and clear. She understood my vision and worked with me to bring that to life. It has been a partnership that has helped me put my ideas into action, through in-depth research and strategy.”
