Akash Jadhav

Founder @ GoPool

As a seasoned Software Engineer with over a decade of experience, I'm deeply passionate about various facets of life. Alongside my coding expertise, I'm an avid traveler, photographer, musician, and speaker, always seeking to tackle real-world challenges.

While my journey has seen its share of setbacks with several failed ideas, I've gleaned invaluable lessons from each experience. Drawing upon these insights, I've recently launched GoPool.
Currently, GoPool is gaining momentum exclusively in Bangalore, India, as my strategy is to establish a strong foothold domestically before expanding globally. My aim is to solidify its success within India's borders before venturing into international markets.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I find solace in music, having honed my guitar skills over the past two decades. My love for adventure takes me on thrilling treks, with The Kashmir Great Lakes trek standing out as a particularly memorable experience. I'm constantly on the lookout for more such exhilarating and challenging journeys.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

Syed Nadeem Jafri

Founder, Hearty Mart

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"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."
