Nikki Thakrar

Founder, Heavity Automations Pvt Ltd.

My journey as an innovator started in 2019 when I started developing a patent-pending endoscopic suturing device. This device aims to revolutionize non-critical GI track surgeries, reducing hospitalization from multiple days to a day-care procedure. Additionally, I have developed three successful models of automatic patient lifts for physiotherapy centers.

There's more - In 2021, I revived one of my college projects to transform it into a full-fledged venture. By returning to the drawing board to address the challenge of moving heavy and bulky goods up stairs, we created patent pending stair mobility solution. With 50+ design iterations, 5 full scale prototypes and close to 1000 hours of testing by late 2022, I officially registered my company, Heavity Automation Pvt. Ltd. (www.heavityautomation.com).

However, this vision has historically just been a blazing passion for automation that manifested itself ever since I was still too young to spell "patent"! I take pride in creating some mini-inventions during my school days. And now, upon seeing my initial projects reaching their fruition, I could not be more excited to be a pioneer in the field of automation and create products that integrate so well into people's lives.

Currently, I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals in the fields of electronics, automation, product design, and more. I aspire to be part of the hustle, taking the automation solutions we have already built to the masses, while also developing new automatic products and shaping the consumer experience surrounding the adoption of automation in their daily lives. If it involves automation, I am genuinely interested. I would be delighted to connect with individuals who share similar passions over a virtual or in-person cup of coffee.

Let's join forces and pave the way for a future where automation improves lives on a large scale.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
