Pranav Kashyap

Product Manager @UiPath, Seasonal Investor

Bangalore

As a forward-thinking investor,I brings a unique blend of technical expertise, business acumen, and a passion for fostering innovation. With over a half decade of experience in the fields of automation, process mining, and technology-driven solutions, I am dedicated to identifying and nurturing high-potential startups that are poised to disrupt industries and drive sustainable growth.

My journey began in the technology sector, where I quickly rose to prominence as a leader in process automation and digital transformation. Having worked extensively with tools such as UiPath and leading automation initiatives for companies across diverse industries, I developed a deep understanding of how technology can be leveraged to optimize processes, reduce costs, and create new revenue streams. This background gives me a strong foundation to evaluate startups that are innovating in areas such as AI, automation, and enterprise solutions.

Over the years, I transitioned from being a technology leader to a strategic investor. My focus now lies in supporting founders who are passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems. Whether it’s investing in a cutting-edge SaaS platform, a renewable energy initiative, or a next-generation automation tool, I looks for startups that not only have the potential for high returns but also align with his values of long-term sustainability and societal impact.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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."

"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."
