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

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
