Gopi Nath

Founder, Whater.ai

I’m the founder of Whater.ai, a project I started to tackle the communication bottlenecks I saw in customer support. When I worked at a leading smart home company, I noticed how hard it was to keep up with customer inquiries as the business scaled. That’s where the idea began: an AI-powered platform that integrates seamlessly with WhatsApp, making post-sales support more efficient and responsive.

But as I got deeper into the project, I realized I could address even bigger challenges. I’ve expanded Whater.ai to not just support customers after their purchase, but to help businesses drive sales before they buy. My platform now offers a set of tools—appointment booking, ticketing, Q&A modules—and I’m building ProductSync, an advanced feature that uses AI to automatically create rich product catalogs. This means businesses can showcase their products more effectively, guide customers through their buying journey, and close more deals.

Along the way, I’ve formed valuable relationships with potential customers and industry insiders. I’ve been working closely with startup ecosystem leaders, received valuable guidance from my alumni network, and brought on a skilled collaborator to help refine the user experience. I’m also tackling the technical challenges, building out a solid backend, and ensuring that Whater.ai delivers reliable results.

My goal is to transform Whater.ai into a must-have solution for companies looking to scale their customer engagement and drive more sales. By combining the convenience of WhatsApp with cutting-edge AI, I’m creating a platform that’s both innovative and practical—a tool that businesses need to not only survive, but thrive in today’s market.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

“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.”
