Abhay Solanki

Zonal Organisation Secretary at Swavalambi Bhart Abhiyan

I am an innovation-driven changemaker working at the intersection of grassroots entrepreneurship, technology, and community development. With a strong belief in Aatmanirbhar Bharat and local to global principles, I have been actively contributing to startup ecosystems, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities like Junagadh and Gir-Somnath.

Currently, I am associated with the Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyan, where we promote self-reliance through skill development, startup incubation, and livelihood generation initiatives. I’ve been instrumental in designing and implementing programs that support youth, women, farmers, and first-generation entrepreneurs in rural and semi-urban areas.

I’m passionate about sustainable innovation, inclusive growth, and creating opportunities where none exist. With experience ranging from grassroots project implementation to national-level policy dialogues, I continue to work towards building a startup culture that’s deeply rooted in Indian values yet globally competitive.

I’m also w working on projects related to agro-processing, local product branding, and smart incubation infrastructure.

Let’s connect if you’re passionate about nation-building through entrepreneurship.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

"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."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
