Sarang Pani

Founder at Inovact

As an entrepreneur, I understand the significance of having the "right team" and "right mentor" at the "right time" in quickly and efficiently building and scaling projects or products. However, the time-consuming process of establishing connections and persuading people to collaborate on a project or idea is a significant challenge with existing online communities and platforms.

Therefore, I embarked on creating Inovact Social, a competitive social network that simplifies collaboration on projects and ideas for students, entrepreneurs, and mentors with just a click of a button.

One of the major challenges facing the Indian student society is the lack of awareness of "skill development." As not everyone is a genius, most students need a spark to start their upskilling journey. With this in mind, I initiated building student communities in engineering colleges that help students appreciate the importance of upskilling through peer-to-peer learning sessions and application-based learning processes at an affordable price.

It brings me great joy to share that over 1200 students have upskilled through this student community program.

Apart from entrepreneurship, my interests include macroeconomics, finance, and the financial markets. I actively invest and trade in the Indian stock market. Furthermore, I am a governor's awardee scout and have played volleyball and cricket at the district level.

I love reading books on business, startups, finance, and personal growth, which inspired me to start writing. As a result, I enjoy blogging about my learnings & experiences, finance, education, and much more. I also record podcasts with smart individuals and share them with the world through my YouTube channel.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
