Kaushik Lahoti

Founder and CEO, KaushikDhwanee

My name is Kaushik Lahoti. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from USA and worked in the US for over a decade as a software engineer. During this time, I discovered my passion for music, which led me back to India to study under esteemed gurus.

After a year in software consulting in India, I chose to pursue my passion for music and founded KaushikDhwanee in 2012. This venture awakened my entrepreneurial spirit. Experiences gained while running KaushikDhwanee have inspired me to make music education accessible to all.

I love outdoor activities, fitness, fine things, and a soft heart with a desire to help the underprivileged. I believe that the purpose of human life is to pursue excellence in everything we do.

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.

"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."
