CEO, Calidad Infotech LLP

Samay Thakkar is CEO of Calidad Infotech LLP, a Software Quality Assurance company based out of Ahmedabad. He worked across different companies in Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad like Hughes Systique, Publicis Sapient and S&P Global before starting his own firm.

The inspiration to start a firm lies in analysing the software quality issues faced by the companies and to find out a way to solve those. There was a trend which was identified that the companies, especially startups, not focusing more on Quality Assurance due to various reasons such as budget constraints, multi-tasking teams, priority to development, lack of understanding etc.

Calidad is trying to solve the above issues by connecting with startups, understanding their points and trying to come up with optimum solutions for same.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"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."

"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."
