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.

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.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
