Nomit Pahuja

Co-Founder at Next Step

3 years back, right out of college, I was building Byte Avenue, an automated personal assistant for anyone who wants to learn coding. Goal was to provide personalised guidance at an inexpensive cost but the timing was wrong as the ed tech bubble soon burst. We had to shut down because the team wasn’t able to sustain further without funds and I started work as an APM at a YC startup based in Gurgaon called Exly.

2 years into it, I took my learnings and started working with my dad remotely on his 27 year old computer business called Next Step. Realised that the service is excellent but we were never able to grow exponentially because the company never even focused on sales & marketing.

Studied the space and found the gadget rental space interesting and growing at a good pace. Experimented for a while, saw good traction, so decided to come back and work on building the most reliable gadget rental solution along with my dad.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

“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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
