Akshay Salekar - Design Director

Akshay Salekar

Design Director

Akshay is a product designer passionate about solving problems using design thinking and user empathy.

For the past 7 years, I have helped startups and companies to design user-friendly and intuitive digital experiences on various platforms. I have worked as a freelancer and consultant and also had the opportunity to run a small design studio to help SaaS companies design and build softwares.

What sets me apart is my unique journey - I began as an automobile engineer, and this background fuels my passion for designing products around cars. I translated this passion into action when I launched and managed a pre-owned car marketplace (Yescar).

I am passionate about building products in the Automobile, Hospitality, Education, Sustainability and Health industries.

If you are looking for a designer who can play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience and visual design of your SaaS platform, then you are in the right place.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

“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!”
