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.

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

"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."
