Mridul Joshi

Early Stage Founder/ ex-Group Product Manager at Glance

Bangalore

I have built and scaled products, programs, and processes across global markets—US, EMEA, and India—driving business outcomes while solving complex challenges along the way.

My experience spans consumer tech, service marketplaces, and platform businesses at companies like Glance, Uber, and Gojek. I have led product roadmaps for large-scale DAUs, launched 0→1 offerings in new markets, and enhanced consumer experiences to make products more engaging and delightful. I have also navigated key inflection points in a company’s journey—mergers, IPOs, and transitions from startups to structured organizations—ensuring these shifts positively impact both the product and its users. My strength lies in bridging product, business, and execution to turn strategy into tangible results.

I enjoy working with founders, operators, and cross-functional teams to bring clarity, structure, and momentum to ambitious ideas. Whether it is crafting a GTM strategy, unlocking growth levers, or scaling operations, I take a hands-on, outcome-driven approach.

Recently, I have transitioned from my role at Glance to explore new ideas and emerging opportunities—especially in AI and innovation. I am currently advising B2C ventures in marketplace, social media, and real estate sectors. I am also working on an MVP for my own entrepreneurial journey, experimenting and testing hypotheses as I build something impactful.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. 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. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

Co-Founder, DevX

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
