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

"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."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

“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.”
