PeVe

Introducing Nilesh Hanotia, a pioneering entrepreneur and forward-thinking innovator at the forefront of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Nilesh is leading the development of a foundation AI model designed to assist radiologists in detecting lung-related diseases through chest X-ray imaging—an initiative with the potential to transform diagnostic accuracy and accessibility worldwide.

With a strong foundation in AI technologies and a passion for applying them to high-impact domains, Nilesh is driving a mission to augment clinical decision-making using data-driven tools. Recognizing the urgent need for faster, more reliable diagnostics in respiratory healthcare—especially in underserved regions—he founded his AI venture to bring cutting-edge deep learning models directly into the hands of radiologists and clinicians.

As the visionary behind the project, Nilesh orchestrates a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, AI engineers, and medical experts. Together, they are building a scalable and ethically-aligned foundation model trained on diverse and representative datasets to accurately identify conditions such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and lung cancer from X-ray images.

What distinguishes Nilesh is his unwavering commitment to responsible AI development. He champions transparency, clinical validation, and fairness in model performance to ensure trust in AI-assisted diagnostics. In an era where explainability and bias mitigation are critical, Nilesh is leading the charge with a model designed not just for high accuracy, but for equitable, real-world impact.

A rising thought leader in AI and medical imaging, Nilesh is an advocate for open innovation and collaborative research. He shares his vision through speaking engagements, research contributions, and partnerships with academic and healthcare institutions.

Through his work, Nilesh is not only developing a transformative AI solution but is also shaping the future of radiology—one where human expertise and intelligent algorithms work hand in hand to save lives.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

“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."

"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."
