With about 20 years of experience in Project Management, Risk Mitigation, Leadership, and Customer Engagement, I have built a career focused on driving strategic outcomes and organizational growth.

Beyond my corporate career:

• At Twilight Education Consultant, I’ve streamlined educational programs and implemented digital marketing strategies to maximize impact.
• As a Trustee & Secretary at Shri Shivarudra Balayogi Maharaj Trust, I actively contribute to spiritual and social initiatives that resonate with my values.
• My passion for organic agriculture led me to pioneer advancements in Paddy cultivation, aligning sustainability with innovation.
• Served as a Board of Studies Member at Surana Educational Institutions, where I was committed to enhancing curricula to meet evolving industry trends, ensuring students receive holistic and future-ready education.

My journey spans leadership, strategy, and governance, with a focus on creating lasting impact across corporate, social, and educational sectors. I look forward to connecting with professionals and organizations passionate about driving governance excellence, risk resilience, and sustainable growth.

More stories on eChai

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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.

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
