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

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

“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.”
