Ankita De

Co-Founder, Utsav

As the Founder of Utsav, India's Puja booking app at famous temples, I'm passionate about merging technology and spirituality to enhance the devotion experience.

With experience in Content, Marketing, Sales, and Operations, I'm committed to making Utsav the ultimate destination for spiritual seekers.

During my college years, I served as the President of the Entrepreneurship Cell, where I honed my leadership skills and helped foster innovation and entrepreneurship among my peers.

I'm proud to have taken on challenges as a woman founder in the tech industry, turning obstacles into opportunities and breaking barriers to create a meaningful impact.

In my spare time, I love spending moments observing people around me and enjoying the thrill of playing badminton. During my B Tech journey, I had the opportunity to explore working with other startups, where I contributed to building their first versions of products.

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."

Bhavin S Bhagat

Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"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."
