Chaitanya Badave - Founder, Buy Or Skip

Chaitanya Badave

Founder, Buy Or Skip

I’m Chaitanya, the founder of Buyorskip, where I help businesses find the best software solutions through in-depth research and hands-on SaaS reviews. Beyond that, I work closely with SaaS founders—refining products, analyzing competitors, spotting market trends, and driving growth through partnerships and product launch campaigns.

My passion for tech and startups started back in college when I founded Mrudgandh, a platform that connected 3,000+ agritech engineers with e-resources, jobs, and internships—keeping the community thriving even during the pandemic.

I’m always exploring new ways to help startups grow, solve real world problems, and create value. Open to collaborations, learning, and for exciting opportunities—let’s connect!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"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."
