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.

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.

“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 isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
