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

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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.”
