Rahul Kalantre - Business Development Associate

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.”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
