Shitalkumar Bathia- CEO, Goverdhan Greens Resorts- Dwarka.

Goverdhan Greens is an eco resort located in outskirts of holy pilgrimage Dwarka- Gujarat.

Shital Bathia- CEO, Goverdhan Greens Resort-Dwarka is a person of multi dimensions . Humble with his approach, he dares to take on uncharted paths, though never had any paid jobs till date.

Early days, full of energy jumped to bandwagon of Dot Coms,,, in 1998-99, he was among first few pioneers in Business to consumer e-commerce way back in 1999- just after indishop & rediff.com, indiancultureonline.com was the first venture he had created with vision to provide a platform to cultural diversity of India.

Sudden fall of Dotcoms' found him nowhere and had started his career back to Zero with a housekeeping agency in the city of Rajkot with name Cleaning Master in 2003.

Business was steady and growing during early days, when it came to expansion, a major setback struck- it was stock market crash of Jan 2008- that had made all the corporate to cut the costs left, right & center! it was rather blessing in disguise proven for Mr. Bathia as he took this incident as one of the learning stepping stone and decided to pursue his dream of having a resort.

During a presentation with CNBC Aawwaz Channel , he says "Hamara Subse Biggest Strength hai our Zero experience Status"- prior to opening up of Goverdhan Greens, he does not have any experience in hospitality or construction business. Even he says, I am still ZERO as far as experience goes, though now a smaller ZERO then what I used to be! as in his personal opinion every experience is a liability unless we learn something out of it...

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

“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!”

"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."
