Samveg Thaker - PM @ Alpaca

Samveg Thaker

PM @ Alpaca

In my current role at Alpaca, I have successfully developed two funding flows in the last six months, consistently securing over $50 million in funding each month. This achievement not only highlights my ability to conceptualize and implement impactful financial solutions but also underscores my commitment to driving measurable results. Additionally, my role involves consulting with leading Fintech firms, such as GoTrade, Syfe, and IND Money, contributing to the trading of over $3 billion and managing 2.3+ million active accounts. This experience has honed my ability to navigate the complexities of the financial industry and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.

Prior to my time at Alpaca, I spent two years at Microsoft as a Software Development Engineer. Working with the Marketplace team, I managed Extensions for VS Code and Visual Studio IDE. Notably, I led the Monolith to Microservice migration, played a pivotal role in preventing a service outage, and successfully defended against a spam attack. These experiences have equipped me with a robust technical foundation and a strategic mindset, essential qualities for effective product management.

My entrepreneurial journey further sets me apart. In my second year of college, I founded a service-based startup that achieved a revenue milestone of a million INR. Later, as we transitioned to a product-based firm, Avasar, I led a cross-functional team comprising engineers, a designer, a content writer, sales executives, and interns. This experience allowed me to cultivate strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of the product lifecycle.

One of my proudest accomplishments during this time was engaging with individuals affected by depression to enhance Avasar's usability. This customer-centric approach reflects my dedication to creating products that genuinely address user needs.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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.

"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."

“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.”
