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

“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.”

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
