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

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

“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.”
