With a steadfast commitment to driving positive social change, I have spent more than 10 years deeply engaged in the social sector. My journey has been marked by a dedication to improving lives, fostering sustainable development, and building strong partnerships that catalyze long-term impact.

My expertise spans across various domains including ecosystem restoration, water conservation, and community development. I have played a pivotal role in spearheading and managing projects that align with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly focusing on SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals. My work is a testament to her ability to bring together diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, corporates, and local communities, to collaborate on initiatives that address critical environmental and social challenges.

Currently, I am associated with the Dholakia Foundation. As a Chief Executive Officer, I am leading one of the social enterprise- AMRTM. My efforts are not only contributing to environmental sustainability but are also enhancing the quality of life for communities in Gujarat and beyond.

Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in forging various strong alliances. My ability to navigate the complexities of development work and dedication, has earned me a recognition as a leader in the field.

I have also represented the Dholakia Foundation at various national and international platforms such as COP29 and COY19 at Baku, Azerbaijan, Dushanbe Water Conference at Tajikistan, India Water Week, Asia’s Largest CSR Summit and many more. Recently, I was invited to deliver my first ever TEDX talk at NIT Goa on the theme "Unmask The Reality".

My journey as a development professional is driven by a profound sense of purpose. My work continues to inspire and empower others.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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.
