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

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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!”
