Ex program manager intern in Nxtmeet a t-hub based Startup. A 3rd year data science student in MLR institute of technoology.

I am Leela Venugopal, a 3rd-year Data Science Engineering student at MLR Institute of Technology. I worked as a Business Development Intern at Tamada Media for 2.5 months, collaborating with renowned brands like Jio Cinemas and Max Urban Fashion, as well as emerging names like Swetha Telugu Foods, KS Bakers, and Bhanzu. I also served as a Program Manager Intern at NxtMeet, a T-Hub-based startup, focusing on the strategic implementation of their app. As a council member of MLRCIE, the E-Cell and I-Cell of MLRIT, I contribute as a graphic designer and mentor, guiding first-year students on projects and startup incubation.

Additionally, I plan to launch a brand-building company to support small, unorganized businesses. My goal is to connect with entrepreneurs, understand their needs, and provide tailored support to help them grow into established brands. By streamlining operations and offering focused guidance, I aim to create long-term value, foster sustainable growth, and strengthen collaborative relationships within the entrepreneurial community.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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 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.”
