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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

Viraj Rajani

Co-Founder, Digipple

"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."

Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth

"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."
