Prathamesh Devadiga

Research Intern, IIT

Hello! I'm Prathamesh Devadiga, a third-year computer science student at PES University's Electronic City Campus. My interests include Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, and MLOps. I am also actively exploring the domain of Distributed Systems.

My passion for machine learning drives me to pursue internships at prestigious institutions like IIT Indore and MedInn TechLabs, where I immerse myself in groundbreaking research. As a mentor at multiple hackathons and the Head of Technology for the Entrepreneurship Club, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and guiding fellow students in their technological endeavors.

I have been accepted to Oxford University's Machine Learning School 2024 and, as a member of GDSC, I am actively engaged in the tech community, anticipating the valuable insights and knowledge I will gain from this upcoming experience. Previously, as the Webmaster at IEEE RAS PESU ECC, I led a talented team to develop an impactful online presence from scratch.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

“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.”

“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."
