Our story

The frame, reinvented.

Nukebox began in Noida with a simple observation: the photos we love most live trapped in our phones, while the frames on our walls stay frozen in one moment. We set out to fix both.

The founders

Two brothers, one workbench.

Nukebox is built by the Verma brothers from a workshop-turned-office in Sector 62, Noida — one obsessed with how the frame looks and feels, the other with keeping every promise it makes.

A decade in consumer hardware, and one question that wouldn't leave him: why has the photo frame not changed since 2005? Pulkit leads product design, the display lab, and NukeOS — from the matte glass to the chime a photo makes when it arrives.

The keeper of the pledge. Puneet runs the factory line, the recycled-plastic supply chain and the tree programme — making sure every frame is built fairly, ships on time, and leaves the planet a little greener than it found it.

“The frame was already the most loved object in the Indian home. Our job was only to let it hold more.”— The Verma brothers, founders
The journey

2022 → 2026, the long way round.

Four years from a sketch on a workbench to the Aura Collection — drawn here the way it felt: never a straight line.

2022
The sketch

Two brothers, one workbench in Noida. The first “frame” is a tablet in a hand-cut wooden border — ugly, glowing, and completely wrong. But the question sticks: why do our best photos die inside our phones?

2023
Fourteen prototypes

A year of matte panels, glare tests and bezels that finally feel like furniture. The pledge is signed before the first sale: 100% recycled plastic bodies, fair factory floors, no shortcuts.

2024
NukeOS is born

The software catches up with the hardware. Photos travel encrypted from any phone in the family to the frame in seconds — and a 40-home beta of grandparents becomes our toughest QA team.

2025
Made in India, made fairly

The Noida line starts up. Every unit is colour-calibrated by hand, heat-soaked and drop-tested — and the ten-trees-per-frame programme takes root with our first planting partners.

2026
The Aura Collection

Four frames — Aura 10, Heritage 10, Studio 16, Gallery 22 — launch on nukebox.co. The first customer groves are chosen across India, and the workbench finally gets cleaned. Briefly.

What we stand for

Memories that give back.

A frame holds a family's memories for decades. We think it should give something back for just as long — to the people who make it, and to the planet it lives on.

The Nukebox way

Three things we never compromise.

Craft before specs

Museum-matte displays, hand-finished bodies, colour calibrated one unit at a time — photos should read like paper, not pixels.

Private by design

Photos travel encrypted from phone to frame and stay there. Never sold, never scanned, never used for advertising.

Responsible to the root

Recycled materials, ethical manufacturing in India, and a growing grove of trees — you choose where yours grow.

See it for yourself

Crafted to be given, built to be kept.
