Hyderabad

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

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community.

“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.”
