Bhakti Dudhara

Co-founder, Chief Designer, Aubergine. Helping founders drive measurable impact through product experiences.

✦ Simplicity comes with the mastery of complexity. I partner with founders to translate their ideas to impact. ✦

Driven by a passion for multiplying impact, I moved from the U.S. to India to start Aubergine—an ecosystem dedicated to crafting intuitive, inviting, and innovative products. Since then, we’ve built 300+ products that shape industries.

With 18 years of experience in digital product design, I specialise in the intersection of business strategy, user psychology, and technology. I believe in structured processes that ensure quality while adapting that process to achieve impactful results.

If you're building something that will redefine the way the world works and need design partners who understand business, behaviour and complex systems, let’s connect and exchange ideas.

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
