1Rivet

Hi, I am Ashish Chelani, a Project Manager by profession. I am having 8+ years of experience in the software industry.

I started my career as a Java Developer, it was a great two and a half years of journey. I discovered a lot about my coding & problem-solving skills. The best part was, the projects I worked on had a lot of databases activities & that made me fall in love with the database.

I switched my job and associated with 1Rivet as Java Tech Lead. That’s where life took a paradigm shift. The profile demanded a hell lot out of me. From building a team, to be actively involved in providing a technical solution for the application, communicating with clients, resolving conflicts amongst the team, I tasted it all, but it was a roller coaster ride & all it made me was a better professional.

Two years later I was given the role of a Project Manager and now it's not about handling only the development team, it was about handling the entire team comprising of development, QA & business domain. The challenge got bigger because I was accountable for everything. I learned about the process & people, importantly irrespective of anything getting things done was my biggest takeaway.

In total, I have worked on more than 20 projects & handled a diversified set of people.

I am helping myself in mastering the art of project management & leadership.

I am keeping myself updated with all the technology trends & solutions. Architecting & designing Technical solutions is something I am always excited about.

Alternatively, I am sharpening my skills as a Content Writer.

I am a Public Speaker by heart, participated & anchored myself in several sessions & seminars.

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
