Abhinav Das

Built & Scaled Tech for Boeing, Accenture, Axis Bank, Resume.io, QuackQuack | fCTO (Fractional CTO) | Startup Advisor | Engineering Leader

With over 13 enriching years immersed in the dynamic world of technology and engineering, I've spent 7 of those years dedicated to leadership and management roles.

Today, I lead a successful consulting practice, working with two Fortune 100 companies and advising startups backed by YC, Sequoia, and Matrix. I provide guidance on technology and engineering, achieving scale, as well as on technological innovation.

My most recent adventure was at the helm of Engineering for a tech-driven career services brand. There, I led a collaborative force of 70+ engineers, fostering a culture that thrived on innovation, resulting in products that empower individuals to achieve greater heights in their careers.

My true passion lies in nurturing and cultivating high-performing Agile teams, always with an eye on the long-term vision. I've had the honor of being part of a journey that took one remarkable company public, solidifying my belief in building with an eye on the horizon.

My journey has led me to architect and scale user-centric products that continue to enrich the lives of millions across the globe. My areas of expertise span a diverse spectrum, from systems design, large-scale web and application development, to distributed computing, and more. My toolbox includes a mastery of technologies such as Javascript, ReactJS, NodeJS, Python, Kubernetes, AWS, and a deep understanding of algorithms.

My skills extend into the realm of effective team management, Blockchain, Machine Learning (ML), Computer Vision (CV), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Speech technologies, Optimization, Internet of Things (IoT), and Product Management.

In my journey, I've had the privilege of spearheading digital transformations for esteemed organizations like Boeing, Target, Axis Bank, Swiggy, QuackQuack, IdeaClan, Talent, Inc., SmartPharma360, SpringRole, Hexon Global, Dataology Inc, and others. Each experience has enriched my knowledge and expanded my horizons.

I look forward to connecting, collaborating, and contributing to meaningful endeavours in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and engineering.With over 13 enriching years immersed in the dynamic world of technology and engineering, I've spent 7 of those years dedicated to leadership and management roles.

More stories on eChai

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!”

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
