Founder, IKON Marketing Consultants & SmartBulls

I'm Azaz Motiwala, a marketing visionary and entrepreneur with a relentless drive for innovation and a passion for empowering individuals and businesses alike.

With over two decades of experience in the dynamic realms of management consulting and entrepreneurship, I've dedicated my career to driving success and fostering growth. As the Founder of IKON Marketing Consultants, I lead a team of dedicated professionals in providing cutting-edge strategic marketing solutions. Our tailored strategies, branding initiatives, and digital innovations have helped countless companies navigate and thrive in today's competitive landscape, leaving a lasting impact on global markets.

But my journey doesn't stop there. Recognizing the transformative power of financial literacy, I founded SmartBulls with a mission to revolutionize stock trading education. As the Founder & CEO, I'm committed to democratizing access to financial knowledge and empowering aspiring traders to master the art of stock trading. SmartBulls is more than just an experiential learning platform—it's a community-driven initiative that provides hands-on education, practical experience, and tools, shaping the next generation of successful traders.

Beyond my entrepreneurial endeavors, I'm also an author, mentor, and advocate for continuous learning. I've authored "The Dictionary of Marketing," a comprehensive resource that serves as a guiding light for marketing enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and professionals worldwide. Through my blogs and mentorship programs, I aim to share valuable insights and inspire individuals to unleash their full potential.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

“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."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
