Kunal Ranjan

Founder, AI Oxygen

I am currently exploring various ideas and assessing their business viability. As a generalist, I am open to connecting with professionals across different domains. If you are working on something innovative, let's connect and explore potential synergies.

Prior to it, I started up a new charter for B2B Client Growth from the ground up for Naukri.com. I set up and designed a proper framework for CRM & Naukri transaction flow, which was decentralized for a long time. This charter broadly covers building strategic AI-based signals for Naukri Enterprise's growth. It involves developing comprehensive indicators around corporate client acquisition, retention, and attrition. Apart from it, I led B2C Naukri Fast Forward (~ ₹100Cr revenue business) data science division. It broadly covers recommendation systems, AI-powered profile enrichment to improve rank in recruiter search, and lead management systems for monetization.

Previously, I worked at Vmock India, where my work majorly involved computer vision-related projects to build new functionality and product enhancement for automated interview feedback - Elevator Pitch.

I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur. I possess considerable proficiency in artificial intelligence disciplines, product management, corporate finance, and economics. I am always curious to explore the application of mathematics and psychology in different domains.

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."

“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.”

"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."
