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

Ahmedabad, India

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

“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!”

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"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."
