Divyam Makar

Founder at Mindpop.
  • Noida, India.

I’m a software engineer turned serial entrepreneur with a passion for solving real-world problems through technology and design. Over the past few years, I’ve built and led multiple ventures, each teaching me invaluable lessons and shaping the founder I am today.

My entrepreneurial journey started with a crypto-to-fiat payments platform aimed to simplify peer-to-peer transactions and was shut down due to regulatory challenges in 2022, but it gave me hands-on experience with Web3 and blockchain systems. From there, I launched a hyperlocal pharmacy delivery platform to connect patients with nearby pharmacists in Tier-2 cities. While the MVP served over 300 orders and onboarded 10+ pharmacists, scalability issues like inventory syncing and prescription requirements led me to pivot. During this time, I was fortunate to receive the Emergent Ventures Fellowship, which validated my ability to tackle complex problems.

In parallel, I explored other ventures like running a food business with a friend. This was an entirely different challenge but equally rewarding—we generated ₹12L+ in revenue in under a year and exited profitably. Alongside this, I dove into Generative AI and built a clone of Character.ai, focusing on improving chatbot quality through prompt engineering and custom data curation. The app gained significant users and did slight revenue too.

Currently, I’m working on my most ambitious project yet—a visual-first microlearning platform designed to transform how we consume text-based information. Think of it as Blinkist meets TikTok for learning. The idea is to tackle information overload and text fatigue by presenting book summaries, articles, news, and even custom user-provided content in visually engaging formats tailored to individual preferences. With attention spans dropping and the need for fast-paced learning growing, I believe this approach could redefine how we learn in the digital age.

When I’m not building startups or experimenting with new ideas, you’ll find me geeking out over emerging tech trends or brainstorming ways to solve everyday problems. Always open to connecting with fellow founders, sharing insights, or just chatting about all things startups!

Let’s build something amazing together🚀

"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.
