Balasubramanian GR

Founder, CaptainsCall

I'm a data science and analytics professional with over a decade of experience transforming data into decisions. From predictive models to business intelligence platforms, I’ve built and led analytics solutions across industries—from SaaS and domain intelligence to FMCG and pharma. My core strengths lie in Python, SQL, Excel, Tableau, and predictive analytics. I hold an engineering degree from CEG, Anna University, and a PGDM from SP Jain, Mumbai—where I developed a strong foundation in both tech and business thinking.

Fuelled by a lifelong love for cricket, I’m building SportsNerd, a one-of-a-kind cricket strategy game. In this game, users become the captain of a team, making real-time tactical decisions that play out in simulated matches. The idea is to test one’s captaincy skills and cricketing IQ by comparing outcomes with real-world captains. It gives fans a deep, hands-on experience of the pressures and complexities faced by captains on the field.

I’m now looking for a passionate tech co-founder or collaborator—someone who shares this love for cricket and has solid engineering experience to help shape, build, and scale this game into something fans everywhere can play, enjoy, and learn from

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
