Ravichandran Krishnan

Founder, UntropyXR

I'm currently building Maps & Dioramas AR. MAD is an iOS AR app that allows users to bring 3D maps and dioramas into their homes using the power of AR. I'm working towards making this a creator-led platform where 3D content creators with domain knowledge in sciences, history, and other interesting fields can contribute to the immersive learning experience. This is being built with VisionOS in mind.

Previously, I founded Filmrare, a company that created immersive experiences that set new industry standards and pushed the limits of how immersive technology can be utilized. With over two years of experience in this field, I have a strong background in 3D pipelines, Game Engine workflows, and storytelling, which I applied to design and develop innovative solutions for VR devices.

As a founder, I managed intricate programs from start to finish, overseeing everything from concept to launch and subsequent updates to foster growth post-launch. I collaborated extensively with various teams such as developers, business development, marketing, and communications to deliver exceptional experiences that yield significant business outcomes for our customers and partners. My mission is to explore the world of mixed-reality gaming and create engaging and immersive stories that appeal to a wide audience. I am also a passionate writer and have self-published novels, short stories, and screenplays in science fiction and mythology.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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."

"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."
