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

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

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."
