Brinda Roy

Founder, PetMama

PetMama was founded in 2021 by Brinda Roy along with a fellow pet parent and both wanting to make pet parenting easier for themselves and other pet parents.

Brinda is a communications and PR professional who quit the corporate world to dive into entrepreneurship. After completing her high school from La Martiniere for Girls in Kolkata, she pursued a degree in Psychology from Sophia College for Women in Mumbai. She followed that up with a Masters in International Communication from the University of Leeds in UK. She then immersed herself in the PR and communications with some of India's leading PR agencies and then moved to Corporate Communications. She was part of Uber's Communications team and led communications for East India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. She then led communications for Vikram Solar one of India's faster growing Solar panel manufacturers. But the entrepreneurial path was a growing need and the idea for PetMama was one she had been nursing since college. So when she found a fellow pet mom facing the same issues in Khushboo they decided to make PetMama a reality.

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."

Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth

"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."

Founder, MyCPE One

“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."
