I am Gaurav Raghav, founder of Oceanlux CCU Technologies, started in Sept 2023, dedicated to innovative carbon capture and utilization solutions. With expertise in oceanography, biofuels, and microalgae, I harness nature-inspired technologies to tackle climate challenges.

From navigating oceans to piloting sustainable projects, my journey has been about transforming ideas into impactful solutions like OceanTree, a natural air purifier that enhances air quality and sequesters carbon.

Guided by a passion for nature and continuous learning, I strive to create a greener, more sustainable future.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
