Ketan Chandak

Co-Founder, Adster Technologies

Hello!
First time entrepreneur here - working on a mission to make ads smarter, hyperscale revenues for apps and websites and take a stab at building a truly global SaaS company from India!
I've been in the consumer software industry for a long time now, started my stint at Truecaller(when it was still a decently small startup), where we built core ads and data products for 200Mn+ user-base.
Then, I moved to Singapore and started working for Twitter, and that is where I truly saw scale. Worked on core search and home timeline generation products from the data and ML side of things.

Adster is a brainchild that came about when I was helping some marquee digital publishers in India with a few SaaS products. We recently(Aug-23) raised a seed round($1 Mn) from Waterbridge Ventures(https://waterbridge.vc/our-founders) to grow the company!

Education wise - I have a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Mathematics from BITS Pilani.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
