Nupur Parekh Flynn
Founding Owner & CEO

Nupur Parekh Flynn is a former global executive turned style-forward inventor — and the creative force behind BAGCEIT®, a sleek, portable seat designed to keep purses and bags of all types off the floor and unsanitary surfaces.

A lifelong lover of elegance and intentional living, Nupur was born in Washington, DC and raised in Baltimore by parents who immigrated from India and instilled a deep appreciation for culture, curiosity, and creativity. At just seven years old, she flew solo to India to visit family — a formative journey that sparked her passion for travel, design, and the wider world.

That global curiosity led her to pursue a master’s degree in European policy from the University of Brussels, deepening her understanding of international affairs and diplomacy.

Before stepping into her second act, Nupur built a rich career spanning global development, law, and finance — with leadership roles at the U.S. Agency for International Development, international law firm DLA Piper, and asset management firm Brown Capital Management. Along the way, she remained deeply involved in philanthropy, serving on nonprofit boards and championing causes in health, education, and the arts.

But in 2019, after retiring from the corporate world, inspiration struck. Traveling with her husband, she found herself — stylish handbag in hand — constantly searching for a clean, dignified place to set it down. Nothing existed. So, she created one.

BAGCEIT® (pronounced bag-seat) blends practicality with polish — born from a moment of frustration and driven by her refusal to compromise on style or standards.

Nupur has since been honored with McDaniel College’s 2020 Alumni Community Service Award and 2025 Alumni of the Year Award, and was named one of The Maryland Daily Record’s Top 100 Women for her leadership and philanthropic impact.

She currently splits time between her homes in New York and Baltimore with her husband, Guy. Nupur is building the BAGCEIT® brand and celebrating a new kind of luxury — one that’s thoughtful, functional, and refuses to let your bag touch the floor or unsanitary surfaces.
