Neeraj Jivnani

Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Neeraj Jivnani, the founder and CEO of Hiigher, where we help brands grow through digital marketing with a focus on SEO.

My entrepreneurial journey started early, in the 6th grade, when I sold stickers to classmates to buy samosas. Since then, I’ve explored many ventures—formatting computers, managing social media pages, and building blogs. Each step has taught me valuable lessons and pushed me to dream bigger.

By the time I was 18, I had built a team of 35 people in Ujjain, a tier-3 city, and scaled Hiigher to ₹25 lakh in monthly revenue. Over the years, I’ve worked with countless clients, ranked thousands of keywords, and created multiple successful blogs. I’ve always reinvested my earnings to grow and innovate further.

Now, I’m focused on expanding my vision to create something even bigger and contribute to India’s growth. My journey has always been about learning, taking risks, and helping others achieve success.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

“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."
