Olivia Deka

Founder - AIXchange

Bengaluru

Hey there! I’m Olivia Deka, a passionate social entrepreneur (2017-2022) and startup operator in tech with a knack for diving into exciting and ever-evolving worlds like Web3, B2B SaaS, and now, the fascinating realm of AI.

My journey has been all about building vibrant communities, forging valuable partnerships, and driving success for early-stage startups. Whether it's crafting a robust GTM & RevOps strategy or spotting the next big collaboration, I thrive on making things happen and watching ideas come to life.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible people and projects, each one teaching me something new and fueling my passion for innovation and growth. My goal? To keep learning, keep growing, and keep having fun along the way.

When I'm not busy brainstorming the next big idea, you might find me exploring new tech trends, sharing insights with my LinkedIn network, or planning how to bring folks with similar interests together. Let’s connect and create something amazing together! 🤝

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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 is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

“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."
