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

"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."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
