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

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"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."
