Karan Patadiya

Student, Department of Public Policy and Governance, B. K. School of Professional and Management Studies, Gujarat University

A dedicated and accomplished student with a strong record of academic excellence and extracurricular achievements, I have been recognized with numerous awards, including the prestigious Academic Excellence Award and Outstanding Achiever Award at DPPG, BKSPMS. I was granted the Niswarth Scholarship for exceptional academic performance, resulting in a 100% fee waiver for postgraduate studies. My diverse experiences span internships with prominent organizations such as FICCI, JVDN International, Vardhan Consulting Engineers, and DRDO, where I honed skills in project management, international trade, finance, and research.

In addition to my professional experiences, I have actively contributed to academic and creative projects, earning top accolades in poster presentations and art competitions. As a creative design coordinator and active member of various committees, I have demonstrated leadership and organizational skills, successfully managing events and publications. My commitment to social service is reflected in my volunteer work with NSS, where I spearheaded district-level cleanliness drives and social issue rallies.

I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic professional environment.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."
