Piyush Sahoo

Founder of Apna Meet-Up

Hello! I'm Piyush Sahoo, a 3rd-year Computer Science Engineering student at PES, and the proud founder and entrepreneur behind Apna Meetup. Apna Meetup is a platform dedicated to conducting events, workshops, and hands-on sessions in colleges, aiming to bridge the gap between academics and real-world projects at no cost. This initiative is a testament to my passion for education and innovation, striving to provide students with the opportunities and skills they need to excel in the industry.

In addition to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I'm deeply involved in technology with a strong interest in web development, specializing in intricate data structures. As a committed web developer, I enjoy creating innovative online experiences and excel in solving complex challenges through logical reasoning, effective time management, and a calm demeanor, even under pressure.

Looking ahead, I'm eager to explore Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) and Android development. I'm actively seeking mentors who can guide me in these areas and provide insights into the work culture. Mentorship, I believe, is crucial for gaining a genuine understanding of the industry.

I also leverage my SEO knowledge for optimizing online content. Outside the digital realm, I maintain a healthy lifestyle as a fitness enthusiast. Join me on this journey where I balance coding with creativity, striving for excellence in both the virtual and physical realms.

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!”

“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.”

"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."
