Badis Zormati

Co-Founder and CTO

Badis Zormati is the dynamic Co-Founder and CTO/CSO of Asendia AI, an innovative startup revolutionizing the recruitment landscape through cutting-edge Generative AI technology. With a vision to transform how businesses approach talent acquisition, Badis leads the technical direction of a platform that automates HR tasks end-to-end, providing streamlined solutions for businesses and recruitment firms through an advanced agentic-based framework.
Prior to his entrepreneurial journey, Badis built a solid foundation during his six-year tenure at Infineon Technologies, where he distinguished himself as a Product Application Engineer specializing in MEMS microphones. His role involved fostering critical relationships with key customers throughout the Asia Pacific region, defining strategic product roadmaps, and securing significant design wins that helped maintain Infineon's market leadership position.
Academically, Badis holds a Master's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the prestigious Technical University of Munich, where he completed his thesis on "Tiny Machine Learning for urban sound classification on PSoC6" with an impressive grade of 1.0. His Bachelor's thesis focused on high-definition audio signal transmission over Bluetooth, demonstrating his early passion for innovative audio technology solutions.
Currently, Badis is enhancing his entrepreneurial toolkit as a participant in the exclusive EWOR Traction Fellowship program, which supports exceptional talent in launching international tech businesses. He's also established a presence at STATION F in Paris as a Landing Zone Member, immersing himself in one of Europe's most vibrant startup ecosystems.
When he's not revolutionizing the recruitment industry, Badis channels his competitive spirit on the football field and padel court. His enthusiasm for these sports mirrors his approach to business: strategic thinking, quick adaptation, and collaborative excellence. Badis thrives in environments surrounded by highly motivated individuals who share his drive for innovation and impact – a quality that makes him both an effective leader and a valued team player.
As if his plate weren't full enough, Badis also co-hosts The Coffee Show podcast, where he likely combines his technical insights with his personable nature to engage audiences on topics ranging from technology trends to entrepreneurial journeys – perhaps occasionally slipping in football analogies when explaining complex AI concepts.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

“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."
