Akash Kotadia

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

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
