Ishani Sasdev

Partner, Chief Product Officer

Pune

I'm Ishani. I have an educational background in Astrobiology and Bioscience, but I have made a significant pivot into the education sector. Having worked with over 400 students in the last 3 years, I now focus on impactful career exploration for high school students. My strengths lie in recognizing market trends, team management, stakeholder management, and partnerships.

I started as a junior consultant at my current company, working my way from mentoring 5 students to now managing a cohort of over 400+ students. Over the past 2 years, I have secured 15+ school partnerships, and have been involved in the program delivery for 700+ students.

I am passionate about mentoring young minds and working with innovative products and people to find scalable, affordable, and effective educational solutions.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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.

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
