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

“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."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
