Co-founder, Gen Hacktivists & Founder, Stealth Startup

Bengaluru

I’m currently building MatchMyPup, a startup that’s super close to my heart.

It’s still in stealth, but the idea is simple: a smart, AI-powered platform that helps dogs find the right match—like Tinder for pets, but also with wellness tools, DNA kits, and health insights.

It started as a fun idea and turned into something I genuinely believe can make a real difference in how people care for their pets.

I also co-founded GenHacktivists, a student-led AI consultancy.

We’re a bunch of curious students who wanted to build real stuff and learn by doing.

We've worked with startups to solve actual problems using AI—nothing fancy, just practical, hands-on solutions that work.

But honestly, there’s more to me than just these two ventures.

I’m someone who learns best by building things from scratch.

I enjoy challenges, experimenting, figuring things out, and sometimes even failing (because that’s where most of the growth happens).

I care about ideas that have depth and impact, not just hype.

Right now, my full energy is on MatchMyPup and GenHacktivists.

Not chasing 10 things at once—just going all in on what matters to me most right now.

I’m here to meet people who are passionate, curious, and building things they care about.

Whether you’re into startups, tech, pets, AI, or just want to share ideas—I’d love to connect.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“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.”
