Rahul Kalantre

Business Development Associate

My name is Rahul Kalantre, and I have completed my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. However, my true passion lies in being part of the dynamic and fast-paced world of startups. This passion led me to relocate from Pune to Bangalore, a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, where I could immerse myself in an environment teeming with great minds and forward-thinking companies.

Over the course of my career, I have gained valuable experience in sales, where I have honed my ability to understand customer needs, build relationships, and drive revenue growth. My experience has provided me with a solid foundation in business development, and I am eager to leverage these skills in a startup setting.

What excites me most about the startup environment is the opportunity to wear multiple hats, tackle diverse challenges, and contribute to the company's growth from the ground up. I am open to exploring various roles, whether in sales, operations, or human resources, where I can make a meaningful impact while continuing to grow and develop as a professional.

Currently, I am actively seeking a position that aligns with my skills and interests, and where I can contribute to the success of a startup while also advancing my own career. I am confident that my background, combined with my passion for startups, makes me a strong candidate for such opportunities.

“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.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
