Deepthi Babu

Founder, Salt World

Deepthi Babu, the founder of Salt World, is a compelling tale of innovation, perseverance, and the pursuit of holistic health solutions.

Deepthi’s path from a business student to a wellness pioneer is a mosaic of determination, introspection, and a relentless desire to make a difference. Her academic journey began with a BBA from the Vellore Institute of Technology in 2005, followed by an MBA from Ohio University in 2006. However, the seeds of her future endeavor were perhaps sown much earlier, during an unexpected school event involving a speech on sodium chloride that sparked a latent interest in salt-based therapies.

Before Salt World came into being, she navigated various roles across multiple industries. Despite her success, a sense of fulfillment eluded her. It was a quest for meaning and passion that led her to a fascinating article about Salt Therapy in Ireland. This discovery resonated with her, igniting a spark that would soon become a blazing trail in the wellness sector.

The Birth of Salt World

In 2017, Deepthi founded Salt World, marking the inception of an avant-garde wellness concept in India. The cornerstone of Salt World was its focus on Halotherapy, also known as Salt Room Therapy. This innovative treatment involves inhaling micron-sized salt particles in a controlled environment, offering numerous health benefits, particularly for respiratory and skin conditions.

Her vision was clear – to offer a unique, effective, and non-invasive therapy that could enhance overall well-being without the adverse effects often associated with conventional treatments.

Salt World’s journey began in Bangalore, a city grappling with widespread respiratory ailments. Recognizing the potential for Halotherapy in such an environment, she embarked on a mission to raise awareness and accessibility of this therapy.

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.”

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
