SAHIL SINGHAL

Scaling business with tech, ex-Rippling, ex-Amazon

I just left my job at Rippling to explore what life may have in store, something which I find myself going back to. Last time I did that I ended up among ex-startup founders and ICPC World finalists in Rippling, trying to solve a problem which hasn't been solved sufficiently well yet! And randomly ended up in a remote village where I volunteered at a wood fired brick oven pizza place and ate my life's best pizza (which I made :p), and made friends with a Tibetan monk who taught me how to make flute with a special fresh bamboo found in a certain altitude in that Himalayan region.

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 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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
