Keval Sondarva

Co-founder at Antoc AI

Hey there!

I'm Keval Sondarva, someone who believes in moving with micro speed and macro patience — taking small, consistent steps while keeping my eye on the big picture.

I'm naturally curious and love exploring new ideas — whether it's meeting people, building communities, experimenting with startups, or learning how real businesses work. I’m driven by the desire to create things that solve real problems and make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Currently, I’m building Antoc.ai — a platform that lets any small business launch its own AI agent in just 30 seconds. No code, no setup, no friction. We’re building the AI infrastructure layer for 100M+ small businesses, starting with India.

Before this, I co-founded Vayu, a 0% commission ride-hailing platform that scaled to 50K+ users, 20K+ drivers, and hit ₹2L+ MRR, completely bootstrapped. We raised ₹45 lakh+ in government support through SSIP, STPI NextGen, and TIDE 2.0.

I also had the opportunity to work with Wadhwani Foundation on their Liftoff Program, where I worked with early-stage founders, ran mock pitch sessions, facilitated investor connects, and created strategy reports.

I’ve built and led startup communities on YouTube (1K+), Telegram (2.5K+), and Instagram through @building_startup (10K+ followers) — where I share honest insights on building and raising in the Indian startup ecosystem.

I’m passionate about innovation, execution, and helping founders like me go from zero to something meaningful — without waiting for perfect conditions.

Let’s connect and explore how we can build something valuable together.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. 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. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"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."
