Our Story
You’re not our customer. You’re our purpose — our story begins with you.
Before you know us, we want you to know this; you matter most. You are the reason we exist. EDISLA began because people like you deserved better. Fair prices, honest products, and a brand that truly listens.
We’ve always believed that trust is built slowly, not through words, but through every experience you have with us. how we respond, how we care, and how we stand behind what we make. That trust means more to us than any sale ever will.
During the COVID pandemic, four friends; Kumar, Ravi, Ameer, and Raja; returned to India after years of working abroad as engineers and business professionals. United by a shared passion for astronomy and the outdoors, they longed to reconnect with their hobbies.
But when they went to buy the gear they loved using overseas, they discovered a painful truth. Most products in the Indian market were overpriced, unreliable, and poorly supported. After purchase, many stores would say, “Please contact the manufacturer directly.” There was no care, no repair support, and no trust.
Instead of accepting that, they decided to fix it.
That frustration became the foundation of EDISLA; A brand built not to sell, but to serve.
They realized that in India, the community of explorers, skywatchers, and dreamers was being let down; not by passion, but by the lack of care. And that’s where EDISLA began. Not as a business, but as a promise to care. We didn’t want to build a company around a person or a name. We wanted to build something around you, the community. Because when you buy from EDISLA, it’s not a transaction. It’s the beginning of a relationship.
We make sure our prices stay fair, our quality stays honest, and our support stays personal. If something breaks, we’ll help fix it. If something’s unclear, we’ll help you understand it. If you just want to share your experience, we’ll listen, because your voice shapes what we do next. We take every small thing seriously. From how a lens is packed to how a message is answered. Because these moments build the trust we want to grow with you. And we know trust can’t be rushed. It takes time, honesty, and consistency. And we’re here for the long run.
At EDISLA, you come first. Always.
No faces, no egos, no one person at the center. Only you, the community we belong to.
Because in the end, this isn’t our story at all. It’s yours. And we’re just grateful to be part of it.
