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.”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"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."
