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

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."
