Raj sampat

CEO

I started out in the real estate industry when I was 13 years old giving out pamphlets for land plots on sale in New Jersey,USA on commision basis.
My interest grew in the programming world when I was 17 years old and I quickly became fascinated with programming......I tried joining different institutes to learn coding but with no avail so I learnt C/C++ myself from the internet...On the basis of which I got internship at Activision/blizzard in 2020.
I had hands-on experience in game development and Android applications.....My interest t
towards that area grew so I learnt Python and Kotlin. I developed several web applications and Android apps with my coding skills. Soon I joined Aamani Group a real estate firm There I got hands-on experience in CRM, ACCOUNTS and PURCHASE. I also learnt Digital marketing there. Currently, I work at Aamani Group and I am also pursuing my bachelor's degree from SILVER OAK UNIVERSITY in Cyber security.

I focus on little tiny details because I believe even the smallest thing can make a big difference.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."

Hardik Manwani

CTO, Mind Alcove

"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."

Pankaj Bhimani

Founder, 58miles

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
