Kalgi Sheth

Founder @Groop

Hi, I’m Kalgi, founder of Groop—an AI-powered creator-discovery platform. I’m a software developer turned full-time entrepreneur, experimenting with new solutions for the creator economy.

We started in February 2025 with the idea of building a creator community. Our very first feature let creators find and chat with peers nearby—fueling authentic collaboration.

The app currently flaunts AI-powered discovery using simple prompts. You can filter creators by category, gender, location or followers and instantly see their Instagram metrics and rates.

Today, Groop hosts 200+ creators and 50+ brands, all tapping into data-driven insights instead of guesswork. Our vision is simple: make brand-creator collaborations seamless, deliver the best ROIs for brands, and open up growth opportunities for creators.

As an individual, I thrive on novelty. When I’m not building Groop, I’m either connecting with founders to hear their stories, diving into sector research or creating content.

Connect with me to swap ideas, explore partnerships or just chat about where the creator landscape is headed.

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.

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."

“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."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
