Thanks for being here : )

I’m Nihal - #TheSaaSGuy 😎

So much in love with SaaS that I end up bringing every conversation to SaaS products. Sometimes also convince you on purchasing few (lol just kidding)😂😂

The best thing I can do for your business is execute GTM strategies 🚀 with no fluffy ideas; keeping it real and straightforward

Throughout my career, I’ve taken initiatives to set marketing operations in the right direction (of course channeling it towards ROI), whether it is taking a leadership role or handling multiple projects/clients at the same time, I don't leave any stone unturned.

The 2 Mantras I follow in my Day to Day life to make things work

Listen More from your customers.
Know More about your product.

According to me, Marketing is a mix of science 🔬 and art 🎨

Therefore you can see an innovative storyteller 🧞 with a data-driven approach in me while brainstorming for marketing plans.

I am best at understanding the user requirements/inputs and giving them a tailor-made solution based on their buyer’s persona or ideal customer profile.

I love to solve problems of real business in a competitive market.

Things I’m Updating on Day to Day Basis

💰Demand Gen

Toys I am fond of :

CRM - Zoho, Hubspot
Marketing Automation - Zoho, Hubspot

In my current role at Gallabox, I've been executing new SaaS product launches, setting up GTM strategies, event marketing, and fostering a community centered around shared values rather than mere sales.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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."

"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."

Co-Founder, Digipple

“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.”
