Karthikeya - The Curious Entrepreneurial Mind

About Me:

As a passionate and inquisitive student with an innate love for entrepreneurship, I am Karthikeya, a dynamic individual whose journey has been marked by curiosity, exploration, and a deep appreciation for the entrepreneurial spirit.

Academic Pursuits:

Currently enrolled in B.Tech Computer Science, I have consistently sought to blend my technical education with a practical understanding of the business world. My academic journey is not just about grades but about acquiring the knowledge and skills that fuel my entrepreneurial ambitions.

Podcast Venture - GenSpeaks:

In the pursuit of turning my passion for entrepreneurship into tangible projects, I founded GenSpeaks, a groundbreaking podcast startup. Through GenSpeaks, I created a platform to engage with and amplify the voices of fellow students and young entrepreneurs, exploring the realms of innovation, business strategies, and the challenges that come with building something from the ground up. While GenSpeaks may have been a temporary venture, it was a significant chapter in my entrepreneurial story, providing valuable insights and experiences that continue to shape my journey.

Curiosity as a Driving Force:

One trait that defines me is an insatiable curiosity. I thrive on asking questions, seeking answers, and diving into the unknown. This innate curiosity is not just about acquiring knowledge but about challenging the status quo, envisioning possibilities, and driving innovation.

Entrepreneurship as a Passion:

My enthusiasm for entrepreneurship is not just a fleeting interest but a deep-seated passion that fuels my ambition to create, innovate, and make a meaningful impact. I believe in the power of entrepreneurship to drive positive change, and I am committed to being a catalyst for that change.

Looking Forward:

As I embark on this entrepreneurial journey, I am excited about the opportunities to learn, grow, and collaborate with like-minded individuals at the upcoming event. I am ready to absorb insights from seasoned entrepreneurs, share my experiences, and contribute to the vibrant entrepreneurial community.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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 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."

“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!”
