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

"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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

“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!”
