Founder at encircle.io. Back-End Programmer, Gambler, Tech Entrepreneur, Loves to building big things which makes human life easier. #ContextualComputing #IoT Platform #SmarterEverything (http://bit.ly/13vjCSc)

I am founder at encircle.io. We at encircle.io, building multi-functional sense-connect-cloud platform for connected things. We positioned our business to grab opportunity in next evolution of internet.

I hold master's in computer science from U.S. University. I also worked for 3 years in silicon valley. I lead specific feature development of large enterprise platform and contributed to ship multi-million dollars product.

I am born risk takers. So, do i learned product, process and people aspect of successful business during my academic and professional life. I strongly believes that technology should and could smoothly integrate with lives today. Technology should be invisible to such an extent, that the user should just feel a rich ambient intelligent experience. Our vision is to create the best possible experience in whatever we build, so that it seems natural and totally acceptable to the end user.Working and meeting with smart and dynamic people in silicon valley was great opportunity in my life. With No-hype, i aspire to build my venture with same DNA.

From child hood, i always wanted to build something great. However, i never satisfied or felt proud of lot of interesting ideas. Because only idea has no value unless one makes it real, scale it and it has larger impact on target market. Internet being a open and easily accessible industry, you'll always find somebody is working with similar idea. However, i believe apart from product idea, Scaling and convincing your values are also biggest part of success of any business.

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!”
