Founder, DO Sports
  • Bengaluru, India

With 22 years in the sports industry—starting at the age of eight—I have witnessed both significant gaps and opportunities. One of the most pressing issues has been the lack of fairness and outdated systems in sports, which compromise athletes’ fundamental right to fair competition.

Motivated by this challenge, I dedicated myself to improving the sport I have been most involved with—Taekwondo. After completing my college education, I developed sensor-embedded protectors that address many of the sport’s persistent issues. Recognizing the broader demand, I founded DO Sports to make these products accessible at an affordable price, with the goal of increasing their adoption from 5% of championships to 50% within two years.

Beyond equipment innovation, we have also worked to help sports associations manage their events more efficiently. However, many challenges remain unaddressed, and solving these has become our next mission.

At my core, I believe that every individual experiences different facets of life, and by taking up challenges within those areas, we contribute to the collective progress of humanity. Nothing in this world is beyond improvement, and by continually striving to enhance even the smallest aspects, we push forward the creative and versatile conscience of human civilization.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
