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

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

“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."

"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."
