Radhika Lakhotia

Founder, wastED

A number cruncher turned architect, turned boundary-pushing female founder. I am passionate about sustainability and believe in the power of innovation to transform waste into wonder, a mission I am pursuing relentlessly with wastED.

wastED, my newest brainchild, was born out of a vision to create a healthier and more sustainable world, one grain at a time. We're upcycling spent grains into a nutritious, affordable superfood - BSG flour, also known as The Fit Flour - a tribute to the vibrant spirit of redefining food byproducts!

Venturing beyond architecture, I have found my calling in the equity market and have kindled my entrepreneurial spirit with ventures like Morph, a B2B platform for conscious luxury Indian handicrafts and furniture where we have tied up with companies like Pepperfry and Scarlett Spendlour in Kolkata. I am also actively building Kamlamrit, a brand dedicated to healthy snacking.

As a hands-on founder, I'm often found in the trenches, micromanaging and scrutinising details. Because, in my books, perfection is not just an aspiration, it's a way of life.

Despite my rigorous routine, I cherish a good old cup of chai and stimulating conversations. If you share similar interests or just love an intriguing chat, I'd love to connect. I enjoy being in a room with people who are smarter than me, and have more to contribute to the discussion - I’m learning to listen more deeply.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

"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 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."
